I am wondering if our tests are insufficient or that this change exposed a bug and the tests previously passed because the fallback correctly failed when accessing out-of-bounds?

Yes, I think this change exposed this issue and the tests previously passed because the default java implementation could throw the expected IOOB exception. The original masked ` intoByteArray/intoByteBuffer` APIs are not vectorized.
