Re: [hibernate-dev] overriding target through annotations
I agree with your analysis, but @MapKeyTarget vs @o.h.a.MapKey /
@o.h.a.MapKeyManyToMany enhancement with target is not influenced by the
@j.p.MapKey design flaws.
Pros of each solution are
1. @MapKeyTarget
SoC (Relational descriptions are split from Object descriptions in
annotations)
@Target and @MapKeyTarget are consistent
2. no @MapKeyTarget
No extra @MapKeyTarget annotation

I'm for 2., because @javax.persistence.MapKey is really completely
useless and has to be redesigned (looks like a legacy case that one of
the EG members had and thought that it would be useful). So enhance
@org.hibernate.annotations.MapKey and create a @Target that works for
@Embedded.
