If a source file contains an error, the parser doesn't provide any new information, like some field or method addition. It provides the last successfuly parsed hierarchy. It causes problems mentioned in the issue #33509 - code completion didn't display newly added fields or methods until source is parseable.
Type changed. As you mentioned in issue #33509 this is enhancement not defect.
This is fixed in 4.0.
