Trying to compile the attached code yields:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ERROR in Bug7.java (at line 19)
        protected List<Bar<? extends SubFoo>> get() { return null; }
                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The return type is incompatible with Bug7.AbstractTest<Bug7.SubFoo>.get()
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
which intuitively should not be an issue. javac accepts this code and
the problem goes away if Bar is promoted from an inner class of 
AbstractTest to a stand-alone class at the same level as the others.
