I think you will find it is the intended behaviour. There used to be a lot
of problems caused by using statements like
WriteStream on: ''.
rather than
WriteStream on: String new
The first version has some rather undesirable results in the image as you
are mutating a constant. Rather than providing immutable Strings (as VA
Smalltalk does) a fix was added to force a walkback if an attempt was made
to mutate the empty string.
