Your example method does not declare that it throws any checked exceptions, so Groovy must be wrapping the {{IOException}} in an unchecked exception before the method returns.

It is here where the exception propagates as InvokerInvocationException and it falls to some additional handling.  This would not be the case for non-static methods.  https://github.com/apache/groovy/blob/f1aef96fed3d8911afba1d160ce07ff085e14dc2/src/main/java/groovy/lang/MetaClassImpl.java#L1003

> The method pointer operator suppresses checked exceptions and results in a MethodMissingException instead in groovy 4.0.12. This issue seems to first appear in groovy 3.0.16, which is the earliest version I am able to reproduce. Example code
> {code:java}
> class Foo {
>     static void bar(String str) {
>         throw new IOException()
>         println str
>     }
> }
> def baz = Foo.&bar
> baz('hi') {code}
> This results in a MethodMissingException despite the IO Exception being thrown. This seems to be the case for any checked exception.
>  
> {code:java}
> class Foo {
>     static void bar(String str) {
>         throw new IOException()
>         println str
>     }
> }
> Foo.bar("hi") {code}
> When calling the method directly I get an IO Exception as expected
