If an AnnotatedParameter is missing it uses the Annotations on the underlying class, however if a field definition is missing it treats it as having no annotations (I have not actually tested this, just has a quick look at the code, so I could be wrong).

We should *always* merge the annotations from the underlying class with any specified through Annotated*. If Weld does differently, it's a bug :-)
