Yes, when the proxy extends a class, everything is taken care of by the
bridge method in the superclass. But, when dealing with local EJB
interfaces, the proxy's superclass is Object, so there is no bridge
method at all.
For EJBs, the stacktrace would look something like this:
StringFooImpl.doSth(String)
StringFooImpl.doSth(Object)
methodHandler.invoke("doSth(Object)")
StringFoo$Proxy.doSth(Object) <-- proxy extends Object,
implements StringFoo interface (no bridge method)
For regular managed beans, the stacktrace would look like this:
StringFooImpl.doSth(String)
methodHandler.invoke("doSth(String)")
StringFooImpl$Proxy.doSth(String)
StringFooImpl$Proxy.doSth(Object) <-- proxy extends
StringFooImpl (and has bridge method)
Note the different methods methodHandler is handling.

IMHO the correct way to deal with this is to simply make bridge
methods delegate to super(), which will then result in the actual
intercepted method being called.
To be honest I thought we already did this, as we have had multiple
related bugs in the past. Do you have a test case that I can look at?
