@aivanov-jdk , thanks for the clarification.   I've re-run my tests using a more recent build (see below), and they now work as expected -  as they do with JDK 15 and prior.

OpenJDK:  "Oracle Corporation", "23-ea+11-814", "x86_64", ".:git:cc1e216eb9e4"
OS:  Windows 11, version 22H2, Build 22621.3007, VC++ 2015-2022 Runtime version 14.38.33130.0
