Proposed patch for the bug

I am still unable to create a concise test case that exposes this bug, but I
have supplied a patch that fixes the issue.

It seems that, in certain cases, an AnonymousMethodStorey used by an anonymous
delegate may not always be available in the AnonymousMethodStorey associated
with that delegate. The attached patch detects this situation and attempts to
compose an expression that accesses the desired AnonymousMethodStorey
indirectly.

I know that it may be a tough sell to get code committed for which no test case
can be supplied, but a review of my patch should reveal that the only code
paths affected are those in which the compiler would have crashed, anyway, so
there shouldn't be much danger in applying it.
