Might be. And it may have something to do with the fact that the
Thread.run() method is the 1st call frame on the thread's stack (seems
like corner case). The last few meaningful TraceExceptions records are:

... if I understand correctly the TraceExceptions' output, one record is
printed for each abruptly completed method. The last record printed
shows that Object.wait() method completed abruptly by throwing OOME.
Even if the OOME was caught and ignored, we would still get this
TraceExceptions record. Am I right? There's no record of abruptly
terminated ReferenceHandler.run() method in the output. This might be
because there's no method "calling" the ReferenceHandler.run() method,
since it is the 1st method on the call-stack. Are you sure the output is
from a failed test?
Can we make the following adjustment to the ReferenceHandler and see
what gets printed and/or whether we still get uncaught OOME:
private static class ReferenceHandler extends Thread {
...
public void run() {
runImpl();
}
private void runImpl() {
// ... the content of the original run() method
}
...
