Patch: FYI: fix signatures of anonymous class constructors

I'm checking this in on the 4.0 branch, the 4.1 branch, and the trunk.

This fixes a bug reported to the Red Hat bugzilla.  The test case is
included below.  The bug is that we can end up with invalid
constructor signatures in some cases.

I looked at a couple other approaches, but this seemed simplest.

I think this never noticed this before because the old verifier did
check the validity of signatures.
