WP 3.4: register_activation_hook() inside of a class issue

One of my plugins stopped firing activation hook after I updated to WordPress 3.4. My register_activation_hook() function is a Codex “text book” example runs inside __construct() method of my class like this:

register_activation_hook( __FILE__, array( $this, 'YOUR_METHOD_NAME' ) );

To make it work in WP 3.4 I had to change it to this:

register_activation_hook( __FILE__, call_user_func(array( $this, 'YOUR_METHOD_NAME' )) );

I don’t know if it’s a bug in WP 3.4 or Codex needs to be updated. Would be nice if some one cleared this up for me. Thanks.
