I think you've got what I'm saying backwards.  Prior to this patch,
javac fails to recognize the following type equality:

Test<T extends S1 & S2> == Test<T extends @Ann S1 & S2> == Test<T
extends S1 & @Ann S2>

The result of which is that it will not recognize the overriding taking
place, and the test will not compile.

After the patch, javac will correctly recognize the equality, and the
test will compile.
