j.l.i.InvokerBytecodeGenerator::isStaticallyInvocable doesn't 
distinguish between VM anonymous classes and ordinary classes. In some 
very specific circumstances (VM anonymous class declared in one of 
predefined core packages), it can consider a member of VM anonymous 
class as statically invocable and symbolically reference it from 
generated bytecode. It's wrong because such class can't be looked up by 
name and the attempt to run such code ends up with NoClassDefFoundError.

The fix is to disable static invocation for members of VM anonymous classes.

Testing: regression test.

Thanks!

Best regards,
Vladimir Ivanov
