The best way to get MVEL fixed is to submit unit tests. Such as the 
examples here:
https://github.com/mvel/mvel/blob/master/src/test/java/org/mvel2/tests/core/CoreConfidenceTests.java

Mike isn't religious about jiras, but he will insist on a unit test. 
Using a github fork to write the unit test and then submit a pull 
request is trivial to do.
