RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class) does not work with package annotation

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.package-info.java // this is for the package annotation
@TestAnnotation(version="1.0")
package com.smin.dummy;

TestAnnotation.java
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Target(ElementType.PACKAGE)
public @interface TestAnnotation {
  String version();
}

A.java
public class A {
    private static Package myPackage;
    private static TestAnnotation version;

    static {
      myPackage = TestAnnotation.class.getPackage();
      version = myPackage.getAnnotation(TestAnnotation.class);
     }

    public static String getVersion() {
        return version.version();
    }
}
2.
MockA.java

@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class) //comment out this line to see the difference
@PrepareForTest(A.class)
public class MockA {
@Test
public void test_mocked() throws Throwable {
    String thisVersion = A.getVersion();
}
}

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
in test_mocked(), thisVersion should be not null, but with 
@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class), it's null.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
powermock 1.4.12 mockito 1.9.0 junit 4.8.2

Please provide any additional information below.

The same issue. It happens when I try to use PowerMock to mock some stuff in 
HBase.
