Has the Dart Compiler gone insane, or have I?

I have a class:

class PotentialSprite extends NPC {
  String helpPhrase = "default phrase ";
  num helpfulness = 0;
  bool armless = false;
  bool disaster = false;
  bool illegal = false; 
  PotentialSprite(String name, num id, Session session): super(name, id, session);
}

It works fine. I have a whole bunch of instances of this class as global variables in the same file.

I attempted to rename the PotentialSprite class with the refactoring menu, but discovered it did not rename the instances. I then did a "find and replace all", only to discover that suddenly PotentialSprite now has an "invalid" constructor.

Current testing shows that I can rename the instances one at a time, so long as I don't rename the next instance before the "Dart Analyzer" has finished.

This...can't be right. What is going on here? Is the error message correct, or is it obfuscating something I should really be looking for?

Edit:

Alright. It looks like a typo in one of the instances was the problem, though why it would make the constructor break is beyond me. Anybody have any clue?

This sounds like an issue with the Analysis Server.

Please file an issue here https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/new and include a link to this discussion.

Thanks!
