The update to ModulePatcher is fine,  that was an oversight that was missed because it's a real corner to have an automatic module be the initial module and patch it to add additional packages at the same time.

The tests for --patch-module are in jdk/tools/launcher/modules/patch. I was planning to add tests there for patching automatic modules when I created the issue (I didn't know you were going to create a PR for it).
