Summary: Syntax error in a method call generates a meta error

Initial Comment:
In the Advanced Language Level, the notation

n.equals.BigInteger.ZERO

in the definitions pane appears to generate a NullPointerException during compilation that breaks compilation

The usual bogus error message for this scenario is printed in the Compiler Output pane:

1 error found:
File: (no associated file)  [line: (no source location)]
Error: java.lang.NullPointerException.

I am not positive that this syntax error is the cause of the problem.  I have attached the file that generates the NullPointerException.
