Good catch, this is the bug.
Agreed. That bug is now fixed in git.

This is expected I'd say.
Yes, it should be expected. Built-in functions always have
precedence in the context of "somename(...".
BTW, here's something else:
series y = normal()
series y = y[-1]
...gives NAs (note the square brackets, on purpose). I think it should give
an error.
Agreed again. That now produces an error in git.
