Using field() and near() in conjunction with filter() and asList() yields List<Model>

[blinder]

When using a query such as:

List<Thing> things = Thing.q() .filter("attributeA =",attributeA) .field("geo") .near(lat,lon) .asList();

throws a compilation error demanding that List<Thing> (which extends Model) be: List<Model>

However if you just have:

List<Thing> things = Thing.q().filter("attributeA =",attributeA).asList();

is fine (as i have all over my code)

I've made sure that the field 'geo' in my Model has the proper index: @Indexed(IndexDirection.GEO2D)

I'm not sure if i'm just doing something wrong or if using field()/near() returns a non bounded wildcard generic?
