Enumeration arguments in operations [message #479846]

Hello all,

I've defined an operation which takes an enumeration literal as a
parameter. Oddly enough, it doesn't work when I declare it as such. It
does work when I declare that parameter to be of type Any.

For testing, I've defined an Ecore model whose Emfatic source looks like
this:

@namespace(uri="testEnumArgs", prefix="ea")
package EnumArgs;

enum Color {
RED;
BLUE;
}

If I run the following EOL script against an empty model which conforms
to the previous metamodel, the first call works, but the second reports
"Type 'Color' not found":

toggle(Color#RED).println('Color A: ');
brokenToggle(Color#RED).println('Color A: ');

operation toggle(color : Any) {
if (color = Color#RED) {
return Color#BLUE;
} else {
return Color#RED;
}
}

operation brokenToggle(color : Color) {
if (color = Color#RED) {
return Color#BLUE;
} else {
return Color#RED;
}
}

Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

Just in case, I've submitted a bug with a sample project which
reproduces the issue:
