Fundamentally, just copying binary launchers into another JDK image like you are doing is only going to work by accident, if it works at all. If you need jpackage (or javac or jar or ...) to be in a JDK image, then you should jlink it yourself, include all of the modules you need, and don't strip the executables.

I was doing that for applications going back to before jlink - application build tools have not handled this real consistently and often just strip. Possibly now you are correct. jpackage does use jlink though? So why would my own be better than what the tool does? I believe I showed the module is present in the runtime in use. 
But again doing jlink separately might in this instance be the best practice. I will try it.
