Description
Package-private methods are not inherited across package boundaries.  There is currently code in the compiler which incorrectly assumes that a package-private message is inherited but, in some sense, remains hidden when inheritance crosses the package boundary.  In later subclasses in the original package in which the package-private member was declared, the member "pops back up".

I will add a more detailed description of this bug later.  I need a bug number now for documentation's sake.
