Static field interpreted as package path element if try to get property from that field (in lua)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
in as3:
class Class1 {
  public static var field : Class2 = new Class2();
}

class Class 2 {
  public var property : int = 121;
}

in lua:
print(as3.class.Class1.field.property)

throws an lua error

err,
instead of 
print(as3.class.Class1.field.property)

need:
as3.tolua(as3.class.Class1.field.property)

bug is in as3.tolua

See test testPropertyOfStaticInstanceGet in TestSugar suite.

The problem is that the sugar code does not know how to detect if the "field" 
is a part of a class name or a name of static variable.

Any clues on how to properly detect this?
