There is apparently at least one case left over from the fix to issue #6406. In the
program 

package main

func main() {
    n.foo = 6
}

gc outputs:

prog.go:4: undefined: n
prog.go:4: cannot assign to n.foo
 [process exited with non-zero status]

http://play.golang.org/p/Fa6inkCvR- 

With n undefined there is no need for the second error.
