Ah, I stumbled over this yesterday. The problem is that the
callmethod <STRING> op hasn't been implemented yet, as noted in PDD15
(but not, I now see, in the inline documentation). Quite why you get
such an uninformative error message I'm not sure.

NB. The same holds true for callmethodcc <STRING> and both forms of
the tailcallmethod ops.

Yep. And Parrot was missing an error check for too many arguments. Now
it gives:

error:imcc:arg count mismatch: op# 723 'callmethod_sc' needs 0 given 1
in file 'library/dumper.imc' line 83
included from 'dumper_1.imc' sub '_dumper' line 20
