I agree that the test is overweight for the benefit, but I couldn't think of a better way to reduce the number of invocations of javadoc and still have a chance of catching any problem values.  

I was alerted to this test because I did see it occasionally timing out (on my local system), and so the intent was to reduce the execution time to avoid that kind of spurious test failure. I'm open to applying further improvements if we can come up with any good suggestions.  Meanwhile, I propose to integrate this fix as is.
