Hi mark,
not sure if this is a bug but it looks suspicious.

Strict

Function Main:Int()
	Local test:AnotherClass = New AnotherClass()
	test.A = 123
	test.B(456)
	
	Return 0
End

Class AnotherClass Extends BaseClass

	Method A:Void(value:Int) Property
		Super.A = value
	End
	
	Method B:Void(value:Int)
		Super.B(value)
	End
End

Class BaseClass

	Method A:Void(value:Int) Property
	End
	
	Method B:Void(value:Int)
	End
	
End

This also:

Strict

Function Main:int()
	New AnotherClass().A = 12
	Return 0
End

Class AnotherClass Extends BaseClass

	Method A:Int() Property
		Return 0
	End
	
End

Class BaseClass

	Method A:Int() Property
		Return 0
	End
	
	Method A:Void(value:int) Property
		
	End
	
End

I have found that the following works for dealing with super properties (as per your first example)..

...
Class AnotherClass Extends BaseClass

	Method A:Void(value:Int) Property
		Super.A(value)
	End
	
	Method B:Void(value:Int)
		Super.B(value)
	End
End
...

Also of note in the above example: "test.B = 456" causes a syntax error, it should be "test.B(456)" as B is not a property.

I agree that super properties should be accessed in the assignment notation, as to if its a bug I do not know.

As for what you are trying to do in the second example, I am unsure.

oh my! Too early in the morning for bug reports.

arg, another typo.
The Property gets overridden to change it's behaviour. But it appears that overriding a get property also requires to override the set property (and vice versa).
I am not sure which if any platform enforces this but it feels awkward.
