RI update: division of bridging responsibility between VM and compiler

No, the user should have no need to recompile in this case.  If the 
compiler detects that the interface to which a lambda is being converted 
lacks the needed bridges, it takes corrective action in the translation 
process, to ensure the needed bridges are injected.

I'll log this as a bug, thanks.
