First of all, this is specific to Chinese locales. Once the host adapter 
knows that the underlying Windows' default locale is Simplified Chinese, 
it creates the supported locales list with 
ResourceBundle.Control.getCandidateLocales() method. This method has a 
special behavior for Chinese to include Hans/Hant locales as special 
cases. This is the reason that those implicit Hans/Hant are included in 
the supported locales list.

So my first attempt was as you mentioned, just remove those explicit 
Hans/Hant locales from the supported list, but it turned out that this 
issue is not limited only to the host adapter, but other SPI based 
implementations can also cause this problem. So, I switched the fix to 
include Hans/Hant into JRE's supported locales list.

No. It does not happen with Serbian with the said reason above.
