Hmm.. I just tested jdk7u-dev and it has the exact behaviour as jdk8.
jdk6 has had the exact same piece of code too, since it was created [1].
I am not sure it's related to new build vs old build.

$ ./build/linux-amd64/j2sdk-image/bin/java -version
openjdk version "1.7.0-internal"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build
1.7.0-internal-omajid_2013_07_25_15_46-b00)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.0-b53, mixed mode)

So it looks like the behaviour between OpenJDK 6, OpenJDK 7 and OpenJDK
8 is at least consistent, even if I think they are all wrong.

The "correct" change in 7 was from an IcedTea-specific patch:

Thanks,
Omair
