I would expect the following to compile but instead I get the error

Cannot return Dog as Cat This:

class Dog {
  virtual This poo() { return this }
}

class Cat : Dog {
  override This poo() { return super.poo}  
}

Is this a compiler bug?

Promoted to ticket #2139 and assigned to brian

Yeah that looks like some boundary condition with the super expression
