I've created this bug to track it:

7054403: (aio spec) IllegalStateExcepiton should be thrown if I/O 
operation attempted after timeout

It's unfortunate that this got forgotten but I think we can fix this 
early in jdk8. It helps that the current implementation already throws 
IllegalStateException. Furthermore, AsynchronousSocketChannel cannot be 
implemented in isolation as it is tied to an 
AsynchronousChannelProvider. This means the number of implementations 
will likely be very few. Again apologies about this, it was my fault 
that this got forgotten.
