Moving a method to another class may change program behavior due to an overloading

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create the classes
public class A {
  public B b;
  protected long k(int a) {
    return 2;
  }
}
public class B {
  private long k(long a) {
    return 1;
  }
  public long test() {
    return k(2);
  }
}
2. Apply the move method refactoring to move k(int) to B
public class A {
  public B b;
}
public class B {
  private long k(long a) {
    return 1;
  }
  public long test() {
    return k(2);
  }
  protected long k(int a) {
    return 2;
  }
}
3. The transformation changes behavior. After the transformation, the test() method returns 2 instead of 1.
