Cannot find fields using this.fieldname, but can find them when omitting "this"

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
I've attached a test case that reproduces the problem.  I removed all uses of 
"this" except for one 
instance on line 32.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The expected behavior is that this.head refers to the field of the List state 
named "head".  Instead, 
an error is thrown stating that the field "head" cannot be found.

From debugging, it appears that the scope gets messed up when instantiating new 
states using the 
"with {...}" notation.  I think it's due to the use of curly braces and some 
sort of confusion about their 
scoping rules with regard to instantiation.

When inside a constructor, "this" refers to the object currently being created. 
 "this" works properly outside of a 
constructor.  I believe this behavior is a fine model for how to treat "this".  
No further action is needed.
