This is nice addition. Some comments / questions:

1) Should the behaviour, TCCL, permissions, etc, for
    the default thread factory be specified in an apiNote?

2) threadFactory.newThread() is only ever called once?
    Is this worth a note? Or potentially limiting to some
    other implementation.

3) So the thunk runs with the intersection of the
    permissions that are associated with the thunk and the
    thread’s protection domain, regardless of the caller, right?
