Try to assign the error to a variable and you get:

a.vala:3.18-3.81: error: Assignment: Cannot convert from `GLib.Error' to
`GLib.Error'
           Error e = new Error (Quark.from_string ("My Error"),
err_code, "TEST");

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

So I think there is a bug in Vala.
