NullPointerException: Cannot call attribute on companion object which is also defined on class

sparklyr seems confused when a val is implemented on both companion object and respective class.

Here a minimal working example. Implementation on scala side:

package test

object Foo{
  val name: String = "foo"
}
class Foo(i: Int){
  val name: String = Foo.name
}

object Goo{
  val name1: String = "goo"
}
class Goo(i: Int){
  val name2: String = Goo.name1
}

And respective call on R side:

spark_version <- "2.1.0"
sc <- spark_connect(master = "local", version = spark_version)

invoke_static(sc, "test.Goo", "name1") # returns ``[1] "goo"``
invoke_static(sc, "test.Foo", "name")  # fails

The last statement fails with Error
