It looks like the test was updated at some point (see [commit c0084100](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/commit/c0084100)), as discussed in the PR [#2220](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/2220). It seems we worked around a product bug by changing the test. It was promised that the bug would be addressed in [JDK-8261016](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8261016), but it has been closed as "Cannot Reproduce."

I can still reproduce it if that commit is reverted.
