Yes.

No, it is the expected behaviour, or at least it is what I understand
from this:
<http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/third_edition/html/interfaces.html#9.6.1.4>

 "Note that if a method overrides a method from a superinterface but
  not from a superclass, using @Override will cause a compile-time
  error."

Yes.

I agree this is strange. They explain the rationale for it in the link
above.
