Dynamically bound this not being generated within switch statements as of 1.8.0-dev.20151110

This is as minimal an example as I have for now (tsc version and tsconfig.json details at the bottom of this issue)

class A {
    doIt(x: Array<string>): void {
        x.forEach((v) => {
            switch(v) {
                case "test": console.log(this);
            }
        });
    }
}

Comparing the transpiled output from 1.8.0-dev.20151109 and 1.8.0-dev.20151110 we see:

         x.forEach(function (v) {
             switch (v) {

+                case "test": console.log(this);
             }
         });
     };

This feels like a bug to me... but I might have missed something?

Thanks
