This is not the case thanks to the "!" of "!(target_flags & ACC_PRIVATE)".

But I am afraid

   266          else if( (target->name->data[0] != '[') &&
   267                   same_package &&
   268                   (target->this_inner_index >= 0) )
   269          {
   270                  slot_acc = 1;
   271          }

will make something private in the target class T accessible to
the caller C if T and C are in the same package and T is a nested
class.
