Correct. This is stupid. But allowing setAnnotatedType() to be called 
anytime does not help this at all.

The fact that we throw the exception on setAnnotatedType() prevents a 
class of bad things from happening. At the same time it does not prevent 
the other one that you mentioned. The fact that we cannot prevent all of 
them does not mean that we should not try to prevent those we can.
