@SuppressWarnings("deprecation") is not working as described in the Tutoria

Question

@SuppressWarnings("deprecation") is not suppressing warnings when I compile the below code on SDK 1.6.0. This code is copied straight from the Java Tutorial page at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/javaOO/QandE/annotations-answers.html
Any hints would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Andrew Bloss
public class MyHouse implements House {
    @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
    public void open() {}
    public void openFrontDoor() {}
    public void openBackDoor() {}
}I get the message
"MyHouse.java uses or overrides a deprecated API."
I copied both the interface and the code from the tutorial page. The message does appear if I replace
@SuppressWarnings("deprecation") with
@Deprecated.
The interfac is
public interface House {
     * @deprecated use of open is discouraged, use
     * openFrontDoor or openBackDoor instead.
    @Deprecated
    public void open();
    public void openFrontDoor();
    public void openBackDoor();
}

You have, as far as I can tell, found a bug in Sun's compiler.
Java language Specification 3rd edition, p#9.6.1.6, says:
9.6.1.6 Deprecated
A program element annotated @Deprecated is one that programmers are discouraged from using, typically because it is dangerous, or because a better alternative exists. A Java compiler must produce a warning when a deprecated type, method, field, or constructor is used (overridden, invoked, or referenced by name) unless:
The use is within an entity that itself is is annotated with the annotation @Deprecated; or
The declaration and use are both within the same outermost class; or
The use site is within an entity that is annotated to suppress the warning with the annotation @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
Use of the annotation @Deprecated on a local variable declaration or on a parameter declaration has no effect.
Using Java 6, I verified that the following code issues a warning when compiled:
interface House {
     * @deprecated use of open is discouraged, use
     * openFrontDoor or openBackDoor instead.
    @Deprecated
    public void open();
    public void openFrontDoor();
    public void openBackDoor();
class MyHouse implements House {
    @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
    public void open() {}
    public void openFrontDoor() {}
    public void openBackDoor() {}
}The compiler produced these results:
Note: Xy.java uses or overrides a deprecated API.
Note: Recompile with -Xlint:deprecation for details.This bug (resolved in Mustang) may be involved.
