My recollection is that JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_WAITING was okay because there is a wriggle room in the JVM TI spec, it only uses Object.wait as an example. There may be a few rough edges to smooth down in this area. It's okay to take time with this PR and expand the tests to cover more cases and get more confident that there aren't more issues.

We agreed with Alex to file a test RFE to improve test coverage in this area.
