Thank you for the comments. Yeah, I messed up this, I thought this part
got recompiled but it didn't. I've fixed this in the recently posted

I'm not entirely happy about doing something like that. Nevertheless I 
didn't
hear so far any better proposals and I guess it could be treated as a short
term modification while we're working on proper handling of those circular
references.
