The problem is that SPARC's throw exception stub uses a save_frame and O1/O2 then contain some arbitrary values hitting the assert in SharedRuntime::throw_WrongMethodTypeException. I fixed it using the same logic you added for x86. I also removed the NULL-checking code I mentioned above.

L4 >= FP seems reasonable and we should keep that check but (L4 - UNREASONABLE_STACK_MOVE) > FP is not a constraint that must hold in all situations. I suggest removing that check. What do you think?
...and there seems to be a bug in:
void MethodHandles::verify_stack_move(MacroAssembler* _masm,
RegisterOrConstant arg_slots, int direction) {
enum { UNREASONABLE_STACK_MOVE = 256 * 4 }; // limit of 255 arguments
We redefine UNREASONABLE_STACK_MOVE with a wrong value, it seems.
