binary form of local class produces strange error

[Stephan Herrmann]

We (ecj) have a test case relating to 
https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug?bug_id=4094180 where historically we 
expect javac to accept the following classes in separate invocations (despite 
the obvious problem in X):

public class Y {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          class Local {}
          System.out.println("SUCCESS");
     }
}

public class X {
     public static void main(String argv[]) {
          Object a = new Y$1Local();
     }
}

Since 24 I see javac complaining:

X.java:3: error: an enclosing instance that contains Local is required
                 Object a = new Y$1Local();
                            ^
1 error


This doesn't look right to me :)
