You could force the class to be initialized when the MH is created.  This can be done with Class.forName.  It would not exactly give you the semantics you want, since the init would happen early.

Or, you could wrap the buggy MH in a MH which first forces initialization.  With a switchpoint you can make it a once-only event (per thread, at least).
