With the right options, two tests fail:

FAILED: tools/javac/processing/environment/TestSourceVersion.java:
javac: invalid source release: 1.7
FAILED: tools/javac/unicode/Unmappable.java: Unmappable.java:37:
warning: unmappable character for encoding ascii String s =
"z\ufffdhler";

The first seems a correct failure; javac on OpenJDK6 should not support 1.7.
I see different failures on 7:
