I'd say it's a bug. You are invoking a public class's method, which happens
to be inherited from a package-private class. Clojure's reflective code
accesses the superclass method directly so there's no distinction between
direct invocation and invocation through inheritance.
If you are interseted in a workaround, type-hinting the code will work (my
guess).
