What do you think the error should be in Vala?  It seems like reasonable
code to me.

A workaround for the problem you are having would be to replace
    base.foobar();
with
    SomeSuperClass the_base = this as SomeSuperClass;
    the_base.foobar();

I think so.  The bug can always be marked invalid!
