Bug report: instanceof incompatible with mozilla_compat's importClass

[A. Sundararajan]

     var x  = {}
     load('nashorn:mozilla_compat.js')

     importClass(java.io.File)
     print(x instanceof File)

     var y  =  new File("foo");
     print(y instanceof File)

works fine for me. Tried with latest nashorn tip:

PS. I am sure this should work with early access jdk8 snapshot too -- as 
I don't recall any bugfix in this area in the recent past.
