No, if your theory is correct (and we've seen this bug elsewhere), its a
VM bug introduced in the new 292 implementation.
We use the MethodHandle-cracking API DanH spoke about at JVMLS. If
MethodHandleInfo reports that a MH is of kind REF_special, then it had
better be invokable with invokespecial. If the check in AVLMF were to
pass this through (we tried it), the invoke would fail.
Its a straight bug in the new MethodHandleInfo.
