Annotation class values not retained correctly

Class values in annotations are not retained correctly for annotation types with runtime retention policy.

Test case:

import java.lang.annotation.*;
import java.lang.reflect.*;

public class Test {
    @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME) @interface Testable { Class value(); }

    @Testable(Test.class) public void m() { }

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        Method[] methods = Test.class.getDeclaredMethods();
        for (Method m: methods) {
            if (m.getName().equals("m")) {
                Object annotation = m.getAnnotation(Testable.class);
                System.out.println("annotation: " + annotation);
                Testable t = (Testable) annotation;
                System.out.println("value: " + t.value());
            }
        }
    }
}

Expected output:

annotation: @Test$Testable(value=class Test)
value: class Test

Actual output when compiled with JastAddJ 7.1.1-46-g0cd3fe5 Java SE 7:

annotation: @Test$Testable(value=class java.lang.Class)
value: class java.lang.Class
