You are only getting this fallback when running the shell tests via 
jtreg. I don't know if it common for people to run the tests directly 
but if it is then the scripts will need to check if COMPILEJAVA is set 
and if not, set it to ${TESTJAVA}. I suggest this as otherwise it will 
be cumbersome to run the tests directly. Also the tests fail if TESTJAVA 
is set and they don't seem to fail if COMPILEJAVA is not set (at least 
for the few tests that I looked at in the webrev).
