Today, after some "manual" refactoring (I accidentally copied one curly brace too much), I got the error message below. I reduced the class file to:

public class SwitchBug {
	void aMethod() {
		int i=0;
		try {
			switch( i ) {
		} catch( Exception ex ) {
		}
	}
	class Nested {
	}
}

This class triggers the following message (which appears in a problem marker in line 1):
