When a class is compiled against a version of an annotation that is later 
loaded in an incompatible manner where an enum-typed member is changed into an 
annotation or vice versa, the reflection API currently throws a 
`NullPointerException` upon accessing the member. Instead an 
`AnnotationTypeMismatchException` should be thrown.

This change adjusts the parsing to trigger the correct exception.
