Diamond operator no longer working... ?

[assembling signals]

Hello, community!

I noticed a new error since b134: "Cannot use '<>' with anonymous inner classes".
The code uses diamond syntax and was error-free before b134.
(Please see reproducible example at the end.)

Can someone explain: is this error even intended?
If so, why this is necessary? If not, is it possible to revert to old behavior?

(BTW: Latest Netbeans even allow to refactor anon-inner-classes to use diamond syntax.)

Best regards,
Ivan G Shevchenko

import java.util.*;

public final class DiamondTestJdkBuild134 {

	public static void main(String... args) {

		List<String> l = new LinkedList<>();

		// error: cannot infer type arguments for Iterator;
		// reason: cannot use '<>' with anonymous inner classes
		Iterator<String> i = new Iterator<>() {
