Great catch! Another variant of the "invoking object methods via 
invokeinterface" problem - the final method case. The asserts in 
principle need to weaken to "or is an Object method".

Not sure how the bytecode issue relates at all to the MH logic? But of 
course we have to try and construct a MH version of the direct invoke as 
well.

Will tackle this Monday.

Many thanks,
David
