If you really want a utility class then a non-public class in java.io is okay. However, I think the starting point for this change is not the utility class, it's about deciding whether to relax the check on the target or do nothing. The concerns with BIS and BAIS do overlap but they are not identical. More specifically, for BAIS, the underlying byte[] can outlive the BAIS object. For BIS, transferTo may return a positive value more than once because the underlying stream is growing. These are the details that need to be worked through.
