That is expected (and intended). It will flush out a lot of 
pre-existing bugs which have been hidden up to now. Note that inside an 
is(typeof()), all these errors HAVE always been generated! We want to 
get rid of them all.
This was deliberately introduced at the beginning of a release cycle, 
you won't see this behaviour in a release.
Please enter bug reports for anything you find.
