Here is the problem.
% apt -X
-XListAnnotationTypes List found annotation types
-XListDeclarations List specified and included declarations
-XPrintAptRounds Print information about initial and recursive apt rounds
-XPrintFactoryInfo Print information about which annotations a factory is asked to process
-XclassesAsDecls apt or javac message file broken: key={0} arguments={1}, {2}
Expected message string seems:
apt.opt.XClassesAsDecls=\
Treat both class and source files as declarations to process
