Nitpicking is good! You are right. While the "interesting" situation is 
a deprecation warning at the use site (@T @T), a warning is also due at 
the declaration site for T because of TC.class. I will not say "No 
warnings are required for the declarations of T and TC" in the text.

Yes, or file a bug at bugs.openjdk.java.net in the tools/javac areas.
