class Base {
    init() {
        println("Base")
    }
}

class Derived: Base {
    override init() {
        super.init()

        println("Derived")
    }

    final func f() {
        println("Derived#f()")
    }

    func d() {
        println("Derived#d()")
    }
}

func make<T: Base>(t: T.Type) -> T {
    return t()
}


make(Base.self) // Base
make(Derived.self) // Base

var obj = make(Derived.self) // OK but type mismatch
obj.f() // OK, static dispatch
obj.d() // EXC_BAD_ACCESS, dynamic dispatch

I was suffering from this also - great find in marking as final, but it certainly does seem like a bug!
