BoundMethodHandle Klass and JVMTI heap walking

We are using the JVMTI api FollowReferences to collect object information. 
 In this
api we can set a klass which limits the objects reported.  For some reason 
we get instances of the
klass we set and BoundMethodHandle instances.

Are they somehow masquerading as a different class ( they are binding 
methods of the klass we
are inspecting) or is this just an oversight? 

thanks
mark
