In the production run, if the value of these static field changes, we may have unexpected behavior related to identity of objects in these static fields. `CDSHeapVerifier` makes a very conservative check for such static fields, but sometimes gives false positives (as in the above two JBS issues)

The Java code change and the BSM coverage looks good to me. Requiring another reviewer for hotspot changes.
