It should error on both, and probably shouldn't display the list on the first. the propertynames returns a list of engine wide properties, and (unless this has changed in a recent dp) can't be confined to an object. (meaning it doesn't know what to do with the object reference) Hopefully catching this sort of error (and the associated message) will become more reliable and consistent as versions progress.
