This is the same problem addressed by JDK-8160121. The only problem is that the fix was too localized - it only applied on tiered compilation paths. The proper fix is to test for JVMCI compilabilty in CompileBroker::compile_method.

I assume the overload (which I missed) was introduced purely to add the DirectiveSet argument in which case the original method should have probably been made private. However, it wasn’t so I’ve moved the guard as you imply I should:
