is ClassLoader.loadClass() supposed to work on module-info classes?

The funny thing is that this module-info.class was created by the Java
9+Jigsaw EA "stock" javac. How it got the ".Test" class mixed up in
there is not clear to me. Perhaps as a result of me specifying it to
"jar" with "--main-class"?

I'm not trying to "define" a module, I'm just running some pre-Java 9
code that scans the jar and uses reflection with "findClass" to load the
class. I've now special-cased it to avoid "module-info.class" but still
I'm surprised it did not work as it does for "package-info.class".
