Anonymous inner class in incorrectly non-public

FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.6.0_26"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_26-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 20.1-b02, mixed mode)


ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Linux <...> 2.6.18-194.3.1.el5 #1 SMP Thu May 13 13:08:30 EDT 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Anonymous classes generated by javac are not final according to their modifiers available through Reflection API.

As per JLS (15.9.5 Anonymous Class Declarations), anonymous inner classes are implicitly final. Indeed, since 1.6 javac appears to set the "final" modifier in the class file generated for an inner class. However, the modifier seems to be absent in the "InnerClasses" attribute of the enclosing class file, and apparently JVM uses this incorrect value.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Compile the test, run it.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Inner class must have a final modifier, test should complete silently.
ACTUAL -
Test complains that the inner class is not final.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
