Objectified inner class throws exception

Issue opening asked in

The registration of the inner class done in static testInner() below
throws an IllegalStateException with message "There must be a no-arg
constructor for net.didierdurand.objectifytest.server.Class3$Class30"
although the required no-arg constructor exists.

Sample code to reproduce issue:

package net.didierdurand.objectifytest.server;

import com.googlecode.objectify.ObjectifyService;
import com.googlecode.objectify.annotation.Entity;

public class Class3 {

        @Entity
        private class Class30 {

                @SuppressWarnings("unused")
                public Class30() {
                }
        }

        public static void testInner() {
                ObjectifyService.begin();
                ObjectifyService.register(Class30.class);
        }
}

This error message should say "Unable to register x.x.x.x.Blah$Blah, inner 
classes must be static".
