That non-null wrapper action then calls the `null` user passed action and runs into an expected `NullPointerException`. However, at this point the iterator has already advanced and that is what the bug is.

This test class was introduced in https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8205184 where this delegation logic was added for the `forEachRemaining` methods. These new test methods reproduce the failure and verify the fix.
