I see this too.  (And, Andrew, using -fvtable-thunks doesn't help.)

Here is what I see when I run nm on your failing test (modified to
have 4 arguments and not 5):

    creche. nm nTest.o | grep calltest
    00000000 T calltest__4testPQ34java4lang6StringiT1T1
    creche. nm test.o | grep calltest
    00000096 d _Utf7calltest
             U calltest__4testPQ34java4lang6StringiN21

To me it looks like there is some kind of bug in name mangling.
