Type inference error for enhanced-for loop with inferred-type expression

ExtendJ 8.1.0-45-g5c1c58b Java SE 7

// Test that enhanced-for can iterate over a generic type created with diamond.
// .result: COMPILE_PASS
import java.util.*;
public class Test {
  void test(Collection<String> strs) {
    for (String s : new HashSet<>(strs)) {
      System.out.println(s);
    }
  }
}

Expected result: should compile without error.

Actual result: compilation error:

    [junit] Compilation failed when expected to pass:
    [junit] tests/jsr334/diamond/enhanced_for_01p/Test.java:6: error: parameter of type java.lang.String can not be assigned an element of type java.lang.Object

Additional test without diamond access:

import java.util.*;
public class Test {
  void test() {
    for (String s : Collections.emptyList()) {
      System.out.println(s);
    }
  }
}
