Did you run it with '-verify' on?  I get something like:

516 irontown:tmp8/katest> /usr/local/jdk1.3.1/bin/java -verify a.TestA
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalAccessError: try to access 
class b/TestBB from class a/TestA
        at a.TestA.main(TestA.java:8)

Okie, I've had a look and I think its a problem with kjc and not the VM.  
In particular the code generated by kjc for the call to foo() is wrong (i 
think):

  invokevirtual b/TestBB/foo()I

Notice that its making the call on TestBB (package-private class) and not
TestB (public class).  Code generated by jikes/javac generates the correct 
call to TestB/foo().

thanks,
