Annotations are inherited if you put @Inherited on them.
Making the annotation inherited ensures @target matches:

C:\aspectj1.5.1a>java AnnotatedCtor
I new exec with @target AnnotatedBase@750159
I new exec with @target C@18a7efd
I new exec with @target C@18a7efd

Also Ramnivas raised a bug a while ago on some problems with '+' when
annotations are in the mix:
