It should be reserved but you're right, it isn't.  Consider this:

<file A.java>
class A {
  class B {}
}
</file>

<file A$B.java>
class A$B {}
</file>

If you compile the two separately, whichever compiles
last overwrites the previous A$B.class.  If you try to
compile them both at once, you get this:

C:\Temp>javac A.java A$B.java
A$B.java:1: duplicate class: A.B
class A$B {}
