I suggest a modification to your example:
Please observe this: http://pastebin.com/9axN51QE
If you declare a base class with "reintroduced" constructor (like I suggest) then you may prevent FreePascal compiler from "seeing" TObject.Create constructor. Therefore it will determine which constructor to call; so you won't get a compiler error in this example. I think that the fact that it can not determine which constructor to call when TObject.Create overloaded constructor is in scope is just logical; it should work this way. However if Delphi compiler uses a different kind of logic here then perhaps we can call it a bug; but only for Delphi mode; while ObjFPC mode should be left unchanged considering this particular problem.
