Did you have a short list of names for the lint option before deciding 
on "unexportedinapi"? If time has already been put into this and this is 
the best of a bad bunch then ignore my mail. I bring it up because it 
feels more like a "potentiallynotaccessible" or "notaccessible" or 
"leaksnotaccessible". For the cases where we have ended up with 
protected fields in public classes but the field type is package-private 
then the field is never accessible. For the JSObject.getWindow case then 
consumers will need to require java.desktop to use this method.

Related is the description:

javac.opt.Xlint.desc.unexportedinapi=\
     Warn about use of types not visible to clients in exported API

Shouldn't get say something about the type potentially not accessible 
rather than visible?

PS: You asked about the JVMCI classes in the hotspot repo. While this 
might look strange then it is intentional. The "framework" uses the 
reflective APIs to export the otherwise internal packages to the JVMCI 
implementation when it is located and loaded.
