Initializing a persistable class field with a constant leads to linker error

Development Programming & Scripting Verse

Here’s a persistable class and its weak_map:

using { /Verse.org/Simulation }

var MyClassMap:weak_map(player, my_class) = map{}

my_class := class<final><persistable>:
    MyField:int = 0

^ This code compiles with no problem.

I want to use a constant to initialize my field, so I add it:

using { /Verse.org/Simulation }

MyDefaultValue:int = 0

var MyClassMap:weak_map(player, my_class) = map{}

my_class := class<final><persistable>:
    MyField:int = MyDefaultValue

Now this won’t compile anymore, I get this error:

Script error 9000: Linker task graph contains a cycle:
    (1,1, 1,1): Verse compiler info: Linking object '_Root'
    myclass.verse(8,14, 9,34): Verse compiler info: Linking object 'my_class'
    (1,1, 1,1): Verse compiler info: Linking object '_Root'

The error goes away if I remove the weak_map declaration.

Am I doing something wrong or is this a Verse bug?
