Session beans are not bound to JNDI if there is a remote interface for a stateless bean

I have a session bean inside a jar, which in turn is inside an ear. If the session bean's interface is market with @Remote, JBoss 7.1.1 does not bind any beans in the package to JNDI. Change the @Remote to @Local or comment it out and binding takes place.

The binding was checked both programmatically and from JBoss Management Console.

No errors messages are printed.
