This is because of a workaround used in qabstractstate.h, which goes 
like this:

Q_SIGNALS:
#if !defined(Q_MOC_RUN) && !defined(qdoc)
private: // can only be emitted by QAbstractState
#endif
     void entered();
     void exited();

It makes moc and qdoc see 'entered' and 'exited' as signals, while the 
compiler (and Qt Creator) will see them as private methods.

This is probably quite tricky to work around, since we can't generally 
have Qt Creator pretend to be moc or qdoc when parsing the code.
