Subj : Weird nested function behavior in IE

The following:

if(true)
{
    outer.prototype.inner=hello_world;
    function outer()
    {
       this.inner();
    }

    function hello_world()
    {
       alert("HI");
    }

    var hold_me =new outer();
}

works in IE but fails in Firefox or Rhino.  In Rhino, the error is
that 'outer' is evaluated as a FUNCTION_EXPRESSION_STATEMENT rather
than a FUNCTION_STATEMENT but fn.itsClosure is null.  Has anyone seen
anything like this before?

FYI, I'm using 1.5R3.
