jtreg hangs when secondary thread throws

Here's a minimal test with a throwing non-main thread:

/* @test */
public class YY {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        Thread t = new Thread(() -> { throw new Error(); }, "justDie");
        t.start();
        t.join();
    }
}

If I run this with jtreg 4.2-b02 + jdk9+118, I get a mysterious timeout.

Checking the stacks during the hang, I see no trace of YY.main (it was
interrupted early), but I do see:

"justDie" #14 prio=5 os_prio=0 tid=0x00007fb7b0001800 nid=0x230b in

so something's gone wrong with the uncaught exception handling.
