This looks like the same issue as RH706066/S6369605 fixed in OpenJDK7:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7/langtools/rev/dc550520ed6f

I've confirmed by applying the patch and trying to re-compile the test.

It was rejected from application to IcedTea. You can find the discussion in
this thread:
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/distro-pkg-dev/2011-June/014574.html

Since the concerns for backport still stand, I would suggest manually
specifying the type parameters in your code instead of having the compiler
infer them. That is what Denis's patch did for commons-discovery:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DISCOVERY-18

I am going to close this as WONTFIX.
