It looks like a subtle compilation bug was introduced in 3306448.
Under the hood, the root cause seemed to be this:
Caused by: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException
at java.base/java.util.AbstractMap.put(AbstractMap.java:209)
at org.codehaus.groovy.control.ResolveVisitor.resolveGenericsHeader(ResolveVisitor.java:1452)
at org.codehaus.groovy.control.ResolveVisitor.resolveGenericsHeader(ResolveVisitor.java:1409)
Based on a look in the debugger, without the change in this PR, the genericParameterNames field will be a Collections$EmptyMap, which is immutable and therefore doesn't support PUT operations, leading to the above exception.
This is the same issue I raised on the release thread for 4.0.28.
