Synopsis: Compiler reports spurious VEEN after VMFN error corrected in system with QAT
Description
The compiler correctly reports a VMFN error when two effective features with the same name are inherited by a class. One of the features is a function whose return type is a qualified anchored type involving another class. When one of the two effective features is made deferred, the compiler should accept the classes, but instead reports a spurious VEEN error. This is an incrementality bug. Added test incr417 for this bug.
To Reproduce
Run test incr417.
