According to the FAQ Doug posted in the previous email (http://lopica.sourceforge.net/faq.html#two-event-queues), RMI callbacks get called within "wrong" thread group. By "wrong" I mean that you can't do UI stuff in RMI callbacks. Basically, it looks like it's the same situation as with OS X/JNI.

That is a good point, I'd forgotten about that case. At least the RMI infrastructure is part of the JRE and has access to the internal data structures needed to remediate the situation. That is also an old article, so the RMI case may have been fixed in the interim.
