R3.6.

1. set API baseline to 3.6
2. check out a bundle that does not yet have 3.6 API (e.g. o.e.c.filebuffers)
3. add a new API method to a class and save
==> problem is correctly reported on the new method
4. use the quick fix to add the @since tag
==> BUG: it shows and adds @since 3.5 instead of 3.6
5. save
==> error now correctly reported on MANIFEST.MF
6. fix that error
==> error now reported again on new method :-(


Marking as 'major' since this is misleading to people (just had a question from a developer about this) and since the workflow is clumsy here.
