@ListenerList generated fireWhatever() method stops working

[frigo.work]

Dear users@groovy.apache.org,

as described in the question on SO
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/42648766/groovy-listenerlist-generated-firexxx-method-stops-working
and confirmed by @aalmiray the fireWhatever() method generated when
using @ListenerList annotation stops working.

@aalmiray s code as posted in his reply reproduces the problem with
Groovy 2.4.7 and I confirmed it with 2.4.8 running it in groovyConsole

import groovy.beans.ListenerList

interface MessageListener {
  void messageReceived(byte[] msg)
}

class MessageProducer {
  @ListenerList
  List<MessageListener> listeners

  void produce(String msg) {
    fireMessageReceived(msg.getBytes())
  }
}

producer = new MessageProducer()
producer.addMessageListener({ println it } as MessageListener)
producer.produce('Groovy')

The stacktrace is

Exception thrown

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: MessageProducer.fireMessageReceived([B)V
        at MessageProducer$fireMessageReceived$0.callCurrent(Unknown
Source) at MessageProducer.produce(ConsoleScript0:12)
        at MessageProducer$produce.call(Unknown Source)
        at ConsoleScript0.run(ConsoleScript0:18

Are we doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Thank you
Frigo Pratser
