Comment:
The given example works since 2.7.1. This is strange to me, because I
could swear I've tried it since then and it didn't work (and 2.7.2RC4 is
mentioned above, which would imply it wasn't working in 2.7.1) but that is
the situation. I'm closing this as fixed unless someone would like to
offer an example which doesn't work.

Comment:
OK, here is an example which "works" in terms of not working.
{{{
scala> hello.toString
:5: error: ambiguous reference to overloaded definition,
both method toString in class Group of type (StringBuilder)Nothing
and method toString in class Node of type ()String
match expected type ?
hello.toString
^
scala> hello.toString()
res1: String = hello
