Well, I'm no longer baffled.  The reason I couldn't reproduce your
problem is because I had seen and fixed this bug back in April.  Here's
the patch.  I'm not 100% certain that my fix is correct for all cases
(it seems more likely that formalType should never be null), but it will
prevent this null pointer exception in all cases, and it causes your
test case to behave properly.
