JShell broken on Windows in Java 12 release?

It appears that the Java 12 release (at least the OpenJDK build of it) is
still broken on Windows.

In this form it's essentially unusable interactively.

Are fixes likely to make their way to OpenJDK or is Java REPL broken until
Java 13?

Spinning up a docker container with openjdk:12 seems to work as an
alternative.

I tend to use JShell to play with new features and this bug might impact
people experimenting on Windows.
