bad inheritance: goog.iter.GroupByIterator < goog.iter.Iterator

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Try to compile closure/goog/iter/iter.js with --jscomp_error=checkTypes

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Nothing, but I get 

/closure/goog/iter/iter.js:944: ERROR - mismatch in declaration of superclass 
type
found   : goog.iter.Iterator
required: goog.iter.Iterator.<Array>
goog.inherits(goog.iter.GroupByIterator_, goog.iter.Iterator);
^

It seems that it hasn't ever been modified since introduction (Sep 30, 2013): 
c0a3561dd093b616ac569f445f4a49b0ad94edc3 is this on purpose?

Found that

@@ -903,7 +903,7 @@ goog.iter.compress = function(iterable, selectors) {
  *     determining the key value for each group in the {@code iterable}. Default
  *     is the identity function.
  * @constructor
- * @extends {goog.iter.Iterator.<!Array>}
+ * @extends {goog.iter.Iterator}
  * @template KEY, VALUE
  * @private
  */

mitigates the issue. Is this ok?
