The test was fixed in Jigsaw repo [1] in a different way.

Before the fix, the test class should be put on boot class path (hence 
main/bootclasspath), since MethodHandles.Lookup.IMPL_LOOKUP was used.

After the fix, MethodHandleHelper is part of java.base module and the 
test fetches the lookup from it:

  * @compile/module=java.base java/lang/invoke/MethodHandleHelper.java
  * @run main/othervm -esa CustomizedLambdaFormTest
...
         MethodHandle mh = 
MethodHandleHelper.IMPL_LOOKUP.findVirtual(String.class, "concat",

So, main/othervm is enough and there's no need in 
main/bootclasspath/othervm anymore.

Hope it helps.

Best regards,
Vladimir Ivanov
