The InstanceKlass is removed from your table during class unloading but before that during concurrent class unloading, the class might not be alive while you look at it and concurrent class unloading hasn't gotten around to removing it yet.  Since you save classes regardless of CLD, you have to check if it's alive.  See classLoaderDataGraph.cpp ClassLoaderDataGraphIterator for example.  The CLDG_lock only keeps the graph from not getting modified, but the classes in it might be dead.

That said, I don't see where you return an InstanceKlass in the table, which would need this check.  Not in class_unloading_do because this follows the _unloading list.
