Steps to Reproduce

Here is an example code snippet


class_a := class:
    block:
        Print("Hello from Class A block")
    
class_b := class:
    ClassA: class_a
    block:
        Print("Hello from Class B block")

ConstructClassA<constructor>() := class_a{}

ConstructClassBWithInnerConstructor<constructor>() := class_b:
    ClassA := ConstructClassA()

ConstructClassBWithClassAAsArg<constructor>(ClassA: class_a) := class_b:
    ClassA := ClassA

constructor_bug_repro<public> := class(creative_device):

    OnBegin<override>():void =
        Print("Constructing Class B with Inner Class A Constructor")
        ClassB1 := ConstructClassBWithInnerConstructor()
        Print("Constructing Class B with Class A as an argument")
        ConstructClassBWithClassAAsArg(ConstructClassA())
