I am working on API that generates so called "model" classes based on @Model annotation. I'd like to demo this project at JavaOne, but I have a problem: current javac hicks up and throws AnnotationTypeMismatchException instead of expected MirroredTypeException.

I have a workaround that uses trees API, but I think it would be better if, at JavaOne time, my project worked without hacks with the latest available JDK at the JavaOne time.

That is why I am proposing a patch to javac for your consideration.
