I'm a bit confused.  This output suggests you compiled Test
*not* in Test.scm, hence a separate module-class.  When I do that,
the generated bytecode looks fine to me.  I haven't tried
jd-decompiler since I couldn't see a simple way to download it
(as a standalone command-line application).

I would guess a limitation/bug in jd-decompiler.  Note it is
not a goal of Kawa to produce bytecode than can be easily decompiled.
(It is not a goal to do the opposite either.)

When I compile with the source in file Test.scm, I get a Kawa compiler
crash.  Ooops.  I checked in a fix for that crash.  If after you still have
problems, send me the output from gnu.bytecode.dump on Test.class.
