Long story short: this is a symptom of a latent bug in javac (I've filed a
bug report).  I have updated the prototype to work around it to prevent the
crash, but the bug will have to be fixed in the core compiler eventually.
Below is a javac regression test that demonstrates a symptom of the
underlying problem in the SE 6 javac.  Compile with -Xlint:divzero.  You
should get no warning but the compiler does produce a warning.

SuppressScope

 * @compile -Xlint:divzero -Werror
SuppressScope2.java

 */

class SuppressScope2 {
    static class Y {
        final static int i = X.K + 2;
    }

    static class X {
        @SuppressWarnings("divzero")
        final static int K = 1 / 0;
    }
}
