issue with fix for JDK-8064464

[Liam Miller-Cushon]

The fix for JDK-8064464 [1] [2] prevents the following code from compiling
(it works fine with 8u25 and 7u67). Is this deliberate?

abstract class Test {
  abstract <T> T e();
  abstract int f();
  void m(boolean flag) {
    String.valueOf(flag ? f() : this.<Integer>e());
  }
}

$ javac Test.java
Test.java:5: error: reference to valueOf is ambiguous
    String.valueOf(flag ? f() : this.<Integer>e());
          ^
  both method valueOf(Object) in String and method valueOf(int) in String
match
