It's an inherent issue where some init code issues locale sensitive 
services, such as in this case, *Formatter. So this could happen not 
only in Security class, but could be anywhere. So I think we still need 
the change proposed here in order for avoiding regressions. On error 
cases, the diagnosability will be addressed with the issue with 8057075.
