7130915 is fixed in 7u12, 8003228 is not. As I said in the previous 
mail, I think these issues have been mixed up (for understandable reasons).

For 8003228 then we need to get an authoritative reference before fixing 
the value of sun.jnu.encoding to UTF-8. Scott may be able to provide 
this. In the mean-time then setting your locale appropriately is the 
workaround.

I just checked the 7u12 page [1] and it doesn't look like a GA date has 
been published yet.
