This can happen when the user mistakenly specify java.locale.providers 
with CLDR on a profile without CLDR's locale data installed, such as 
compact ones in JDK8.

It would be desirable to have some kind of better diagnose mechanism, 
but I think that would be an enhancement and out of the scope for this CR.

Will address other suggestions in the next webrev.
