This is also reproducible with 0.9.1 and most likely earlier. So it is sort of by design. Probably not explicitly written down, but defacto expected.

In your specific case you can easily solve it by removing the empty constant and just put:
{code:java}
struct Test {
  10: optional Foo foo // remove the = {};
}

struct Foo {
  10: optional string bar;
}
{code}

Better guess:  this is also reproducible with 0.9.1 and most likely earlier. 

In your specific case you can easily solve it by removing the empty constant and just put:

{code}
struct Test {
  10: optional Foo foo // remove the = {};
}

struct Foo {
  10: optional string bar;
}
{code}
