Yeah, however it's not clear to me if this may change in the future
since the function has a side effect that it's not entirely specified,
that said however I think, if any, this is a bug in mainline and an
eventual fix should come in via an additional backport and not hold
this fix in 8u.

Can you perhaps send an email to jdk-dev to check?

Cheers,
Mario
