Following up.

Here's the javac bug:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8026527

There's a consensus that this is far too risky to cram late into 8, and a sense that this is probably something we will change in 9.  (This sort of change in the set of accepted programs is not something we generally allow in update releases.)
