Provider class seen as resource class during scanning

I deploy a .war file without a web.xml and without specifying an Application class. The war file contains both resource classes and provider classes. The war file deploys fine using Jersey on Glassfish.

On JBoss 6M2 with its built-in RestEasy provider, deployment fails because RestEasy complains that my provider class is not a valid resource class. Indeed it is not, since it is not a resource class at all.

Here is what my provider class looks like:

@Provider
public class Resolver implements ContextResolver<Class> {

@Override
public Class getContext(final Class<?> type)

{ // content snipped for brevity }

}

RestEasy claims that this is not a valid resource class because it lacks a path.

Here are the contents of server.log that are relevant. "GorpResource" is annotated as a resource with a @Path annotation. "Resolver" is only annotated with @Provider, because it is not a resource, and shouldn't be interpreted as one:
