No, that is not the problem. A method cannot call an overridden
version of itself in jshell, while it can in a class. :'-(

I have the following in test.jsh:
    void greeter() {
        printGreeting("Hello world.");
    }

    void printGreeting(String msg) {
        println(msg);
    }

    int getInt(int value) {
        return value;
    }

    int getInt() {
        return getInt(12);
    }

When I open this with '/open', I get:
    |  Error:
    |  method getInt in class  cannot be applied to given types;
    |    required: no arguments
    |    found: int
    |    reason: actual and formal argument lists differ in length
    |      return getInt(12);
    |             ^----^

So greeter does not have any problem with printGreeting not being
defined.

Another strange thing: getInt() is defined. But when I call it, I get
(as expected):
    |  Error:
    |  method getInt in class  cannot be applied to given types;
    |    required: no arguments
    |    found: int
    |    reason: actual and formal argument lists differ in length
    |      return getInt(12);
    |             ^----^
