The following scenario works well with B70. This is a regression.

A package-info.java contains an annotated package. These classes (annotation + package-info) are compiled using JDK 5 (build 1.5.0_06-b05) target 1.5.

package-info class is then loaded (thanks to Class.forName) in a Mustang b71 application.
A java.lang.ClassFormatError is thrown at load time.

I attached the annotation, the package-info and Main classes.
