It’s been like this for as long as I’ve been using compile static in Groovy. I assumed that was expected behavior and I make sure to point it out to all new developers in our project as one of the Groovy gotchas. Is it not supposed to be that way?

This difference can introduce subtle bugs when refactoring groovy code to CompileStatic. I suggest to report a bug for that.
