If you start out with a JEP 493 enabled JDK, then any `jlink` run which includes the `jdk.jlink` modules (specified via `--add-modules` fails with the error presented in https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/22644#issuecomment-2528986634). That doesn't mean that the JDK you are using to **generate** such an image doesn't include it.
