This is a bug.

In the upcoming 2.2 release both attempts will fail with the error:

Local variable is accessed at a different place, and therefore it must be
initialized and declared final.


So you cannot access a local variable in a different place unless it is
initialized and "val".


In 2.3 there will be a new construct called "athome" that will allow you to
initialize a local at a remote place by going back to the original place.
