Sam, for whatever reason, the stack emulator adds a line-number marker for foo[bar] but not for foo.bar. At a guess, this is because with foo[bar], bar can potentially be a complicated multi-line expression.
At any rate, it looks like a separate issue from issue 4512, though. http://gwt-code-reviews.appspot.com/132815
