I think it has to do with compiling under JDK1.5 (even if
using 
source=1.3, target=1.2 like we do).  The compiler adds
synthetic 
bridge methods with identical signature, but different
return type, 
which is new to Java5.  See....

2759

I'm not clear on how to avoid it, though?  I've tried a
number of 
things JDK1.5 specific things like...

if (m.isBridge()) continue;
OR
if (m.isSynthetic()) continue;

Nothing I've tried seems to work.  The two checks above seem
to do 
nothing at all, so I get the same behavior as before.  In
other 
cases, the check was too strict and excluded all methods.

I give up.  Someone else want to take a stab?
