I have confirmed that this is a bug in the compiler.
On initial investigation, it seems to be directly related to the code that
re-writes AS3 Date properties like fullYear/month/date to their JS function
equivalents like getFullYear()/getMonth()/getDate(). In the expanded example
below, the original parentheses are present in the generated JS when calling
the getFullYear() method, and also when accessing the length property on a
String.
```as3
var string1 : String;
var foo1 : Date;
string1 = (foo1.fullYear + 1).toString();
var string2 : String;
var foo2 : Date;
string2 = (foo2.getFullYear() + 1).toString();
var string3 : String;
var foo3 : String;
string3 = (foo3.length + 1).toString();
```
JS:
```js
var /** @type {string} */ string1 = null;
var /** @type {Date} */ foo1 = null;
var /** @type {string} */ string2 = null;
var /** @type {Date} */ foo2 = null;
var /** @type {string} */ string3 = null;
var /** @type {string} */ foo3 = null;
//var /** @type {string} */ string1 = null;
//var /** @type {Date} */ foo1 = null;
string1 = foo1.getFullYear() + 1.toString();
string2 = (foo2.getFullYear() + 1).toString();
string3 = (foo3.length + 1).toString();
```
