Could do with a comment to link to the ticket

This reminded me of another problem with generic varargs: https://issues.scala-lang.org/browse/SI-1459?focusedCommentId=55693&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-55693

Not sure it there is any relationship between them, though.

Indeed, bounding the generic type argument makes things work:

git diff
diff --git a/test/files/jvm/varargs/VaClass.scala b/test/files/jvm/varargs/VaClass.scala
index e94e8a6..83ce163 100644
