I have created a draft backport at https://github.com/openjdk/jdk21u-dev/pull/1090.
It applies cleanly except for a few places where surrounding code had moved.

I am not pushing for this to be included in 21u, but I have been speaking to Java
developers who have been adversely affected by the problem this patch fixes, who
seem quite keen to have it. Several significant Java projects are affected.
