LoadOnStartup annotation of a servlet is ignored if servlet is mentioned in the web.xml even without a load-on-startup element

Create a web application with two servlets, A and B. Define the startup order using annotations using 1 for A and 2 for B. Then add a web.xml that only has a servlet tag for B and nothing else, in particular no load-on-startup element. JBoss 7 will then first init servlet B and then servlet A although the annotations dictate something else and the deployment descriptor does not override this setting.
