Nice catch!

We have a test that is supposed to test this: https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/master/test/jdk/java/foreign/TestNulls.java But it is only checking if an NPE is thrown, and not checking for a message, since `Objects::requireNonNull` does not set an exception message. I guess that test was still passing because NPEs are thrown at some other point during the call.
