That's been fixed in SVN r1596.

The TestObject class should be public if it's used in a public field.
valac should report an erorr in the case where the class is private, of
course.

We'd like to add support for full closures as far as possible but it's
not there yet. At the moment you can only access fields of `this'. valac
should report an error message as long as it doesn't support access to
method parameters/variables but that check hasn't been added, either, so
far.
