IMO we must add lazy resolution to both compilers in future. The reason: to

The question is when?
My answer: H1 2007.
Other opinions?
Lazy resolution is not a silver bullet, and it's even a question whether
it will help in these tests.
If Bea passes the test, then I presume there are no such tests in TCK,
so this will not affect [possible further] compatibility testing.
As the behavior does not affect any real app as well - again, as the
Bea shows - then I propose to postpone the fixing this 'bug'.
Just to avoid spending much efforts just to make a weird synthetic test
pass. We may revisit the test later, when we'll have more resources
and/or much shorter TODO list.
