The patch looks okay.

Nit:
  final boolean isSystem = AccessController.doPrivileged(…);
  return isSystem;

It could simply be:
    returns AccessController.doPrivileged(…);

Nit: The test uses @compile.  It can be @build that will avoid recompilation if the source is not modified.

  37  * @compile systempkg/log/SystemLoggerAccessor.java SystemLoggerInPlatformLoader.java

I thought we identified a known issue and you have workaround it but still use method reference.  It’s okay to leave this one as is.  We had reworked the system initialization to enable lambda to be used very early when module system is initialized (after VM init phase 1 completes).  If you run into any issue, it’s likely a bug.
