Hello Alan,
I just happened to notice this issue in JBS and thought of checking if there's any interest in this fix. From the inputs I've received so far both on this PR and in a private discussion, it looks like this fix may not be of interest in the mainline master branch? If that's the case, I don't mind closing this PR.

As for backports, I think this fix (if it looks fine) does add value for Java 11 and 17 where jar indexing is enabled by default. However, I guess for this specific case, I'll have to directly open a fix request/PR against those repos instead of first fixing it here?
