Thanks for the confirming the workaround. I've created JDK-8152817 to 
track this issue and I hope we can get this fixed in jdk9/dev quickly.

The reason you aren't seeing the exception is that an internal class 
sun.util.Resources.loadBundleFromProviders is catching (and recording) 
the security exception. The cause may surface as the cause on a 
MissingResourceException but not in this case. This area has a lot of 
history, I'm sure Naoto can say more about this.
