Do we *want* it to do that?  Seems like this would show up with any 
kind of code update (it must be possible to trigger this problem using 
changesets as well, right?).  And whatever the code is that does the 
recompilation seems to handle the shadowed temp var methods just fine 
(it will update any other inst var refs if the order has changed, so 
it's not like those methods just get ignored).
