It is not a bug. Marking members as private or protected is to
encapsulate things and hide implementation details. When you are
inside the Test class, there is nothing to hide about Test's
implementation even though it's a different instance.
You'll find similar behavior in C# [1], Java [2] and likely other
languages as well.
