Summary: Class.forName broken

Initial Comment:
I just defined a very simple class in the Definitions Pane:

public class Outer {
    public static class Inner {
    }
}

If I compile and enter in the Interactions pane of the version with the OLD interpreter:

> Outer.class
class Outer
> Outer.Inner.class
class Outer$Inner

It works as expected. In the NEW interpreter, I am getting the following error:

> Outer.class
class Outer
> Outer.Inner.class
Static Error: Name is ambiguous

Furthermore, if I use Class.forName, then both the OLD and the NEW interpreter fail to act properly:

> Class.forName("Outer")
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Outer
	at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:200)
	at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)

	at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)
	at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:164)
> Class.forName("Outer$Inner")
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Outer$Inner

Class.forName works for Standard Java API classes.
