I just confirmed that this is a bug in ajc-1.1.0 (and in 1.1.1rc1).  The 
'+' on type patterns in throws clauses is ignored.  Please submit this 
as a bug report to https://dev.eclipse.org (-> Bug Reports) (product 
AspectJ, component Compiler), ideally with a small test case showing the 
bug.

<detail>The bug was caused because the code for ThrowsPattern mistakenly 
used the internal protected method TypePattern.matchesExactly instead of 
the external public method TypePattern.matchesStatically.  Because the 
classes were in the same package, Java's accessibility rules allowed 
this.  It would be nice if there was an easy way to specify that a 
method could only be accessed from subtypes.</detail>

> Second, while using Eclipse to inspect the 'methods advised' per advice is nifty, is there a command-line version of this in ajc?

I use declare warning to do this, i.e.:

  declare warning: exceptionThrowers(): "throws Exception+";
