describeType versus Object.prototype

I discovered that describeType fails if you defined a methods in Object.prototype

An example:

Object.prototype.hello = function():void {
        trace("hello");
}
 
var x:XML = describeType(Main);
trace(x.factory.methods.(@name = "hello"));

Object.prototype.hello = function():void {

trace("hello");

}

var x:XML = describeType(Main);

trace(x.factory.methods.(@name = "hello"));

This code produces exception:

TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.

Unfortunately I didn’t find any solution to fix it. Just try to not use Object.prototype .
