Bean Patterns displays properties and events for non-public classes, which is correct according to the normative section of the JavaBeans Specification but against is intent as expressed in the descriptive section. Non-public classes' properties, events and methods are only accessible using reflection if called from a class from the same package, which is pretty useless most of the time and generally a mistake since NB hints create non-public classes for non-existing classes. Therefore, there should be some sort of visual indication in Bean Patterns and some explanation in a tooltip that makes it clear this bean's properties and events are not generally visible.
It is rather an enhancement than a bug.
