VM does not yields compile error for uncqualified function invocation of undeclared identifier

Consider following test:

main() {
  undeclared();
}

According to the spec v0.13:

12.14.3 Unqualified Invocation
"Otherwise, i is equivalent to this.id(a1, …, an, xn+1: an+1, …, xn+k: an+k). "

12.10 This
"It is a compile-time error if this appears in a top-level function or variable initializer, in a factory constructor, or in a static method or variable initializer, or in the initializer of an instance variable. "

the test should not comile. But VM compiles it (and throws NoSuchMethodError)

See also dart issue #6838 and co19 issue #332.

Affected tests:
Language/11_Expressions/14_Function_Invocation/3_Unqualified_Invocation_A01_t10.dart

This is a spec bug; the current behavior is correct.
