IDEA is optimizing a used (?) import

A project has the following Maven dependencies (apart from JUnit):

• org.easymock:easymock:2.4
• org.easymock:easymockclassextension:2.4

One of the tests (greatly simplified ;)) looks like this:

import static org.easymock.EasyMock.*;
import static org.easymock.classextension.EasyMock.*;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import org.junit.Test;

public class AppTest {
    @Test
    public void someTest() {
        List mock = createMock(ArrayList.class);
    }
}

IDEA is marking the line "import static org.easymock.classextension.EasyMock.*;" as an unused import statement, and suggests to optimize it.
Accepting this suggestion makes the test fail (with an error), since this will cause a different createMock() method to be used - specifically, one that cannot mock classes, only interfaces.

The JLSv3 section 7.5 is not very clear to me regarding this specific case.
Is this indeed a bug in the resolve machinery of IDEA?
