NullPointerException on property with same name as node

when a node has a child node and a property with the same name, getting the property without previously getting the node having the property results in a NullPointerException.

the repository is something like this:

<test toast="bar">
<toast/>
</test>

Session s = repository.login(credentials,workspace);
Node n = s.getRootNode().addNode("test");
n.setProperty("toast", "bar");
n.addNode("toast");
s.save();

s = repository.login(credentials,workspace);
n = s.getNode("/test/toast");
System.out.println(s.itemExists("/test/toast")); // true
// enabling the following line makes the code run without exception (getting the test node which has the toast property)
// n.getParent();
Property p = s.getProperty("/test/toast");
