Call to constructor via 'this()' fails in inner class with uplevel references

public class UpLevel {

    class Inner {

void foo() throws Exception {
final int xx = 12345;

class Local {
Local() { System.out.println("init Local()"); }
Local(int dummy) {
// This line crashes the compiler.
this();
System.out.println("init Local(int)");
}
void baz() throws Exception {
System.out.println(xx);
if (xx != 12345) {
throw new Exception("error");
}
}
}

Local o1 = new Local(1);
Local o2 = new Local();

o1.baz();
o2.baz();
}
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
UpLevel o1 = new UpLevel();
Inner o2 = o1.new Inner();
o2.foo();
    }

}

Compiling with javac from JDK 1.2beta3 results in a compiler error:
