I've attached the eunit file that gets the validation message.  They appear to be of the same type to me.  Is the issue that an array literal is being passed?
Comment 1 Paul Harmon CLA 2011-11-08 08:16:32 EST 
I have updated TypeCompatibilityUtil to allow the literal array to be passed to the inout parm. I'm sure there is some good reason why the validation code treats array literals as value types, but I am not sure what it is at this time.

Validation changes make this testcase invalid.  Verfied with 20111111_0901 and closed
