These look like test-suite bugs -- they weren't expecting Symbol 
implementations to defensively copy the Annotation bundle you pass to 
their constructor.  I've fixed the tests to handle this case now.

More general point: defensive copies should probably be documented, to 
avoid nasty object-ownership confusions.
