+As usual, I acted without thinking it through -- I followed Zoltan's
+quick guess without double-checking.  I even had a test program, that
+I didn't think of actually testing on .NET :-(
+
+It seems that this has got nothing to do with hide-by-name semantics
+(which the runtime seems to get right).  It has got to do with
+changing the visibility of overridden methods, which is not allowed in C#.
+
+I have a fix that I'm putting through the paces, and should commit
+shortly.
