I've verified this, and it definitely needs to be fixed. It should be
easy and safe to fix this in generate_classfile, but I don't think
that is the correct fix. I think parse.y needs to add a convert
somewhere; without it the tree structure is not type-correct. I'm not
quite sure yet where to place the conversion.
