It's deliberate: from node3.html#ss:private-methods in the html docs:
Private methods can be made public in a subclass. [...] One
could think that a private method should remain private in a
subclass. However, it since the method is visible in a subclass,
it is always possible pick it's code and define a method of the
same name that run that code, [...]
In other words, ocaml's `private' is more like Java's `protected', and
afair Java's behaviour here agrees with ocaml's.
