(using latest 2.11.0-SNAPSHOT)

scala> val sym = typeOf[String].typeSymbol
sym: $r.intp.global.Symbol = class String

scala> sym.getter
<console>:39: error: ambiguous reference to overloaded definition,
both method getter in class Symbol of type (base: $r.intp.global.Symbol)$r.intp.global.Symbol
and  method getter in class SymbolContextApiImpl of type => $r.intp.global.Symbol
match expected type ?
              sym.getter
                  ^

I think the overload resolution is as specced.

scala> trait T { def foo = 0 }; object O extends T { def foo(a: Any) = 0 }; O.foo
<console>:38: error: ambiguous reference to overloaded definition,
both method foo in object O of type (a: Any)Int
and  method foo in trait T of type => Int
match expected type ?
        O.foo
          ^

But its at least an API bug.
