To repro
1 prepare C.java and other\O.java
2 javac C.java
expected: no error
actual : 1 error

It seems to be violating JLS15.11.2.

"f(null)" is applicable to both of O#f(String) and O#f(Vector).
However only f(Vector) is accessible.
So the method invocation shouldn't be ambiguous.

// C.java
import other.O;
public class C extends O {
        public static void main(String args[]) {
                new C().g();

        }
        O o = new O();
        void g() {
o.f(null); //<-JDK1.1beta2 issues a compile time error; Reference of f
is ambiguous.
o.x(null); // OK as expected
        }
}
// other/O.java
package other;
public class O {
protected void f(String v){}
public void f(java.util.Vector v){}

void x(String v){}
public void x(java.util.Vector v){}

}
