Good catch!

Line 267 is a private constructor.  The caller does not use empty groups 
(line 356-364).

For the comment for line 278, I added a check in line 274 (see the 
updated webrev.01):
-274         if (((len & 1) != 0) || (k + 2 != len)) {
+274         if (((len & 1) != 0) || (k == 0) || (k + 2 != len)) {

An SSLProtocolException will be thrown if the incoming vector is empty.

The valueOf(String) is a builtin method of Java enum, and cannot be 
overrode.  So I use an alternative method, nameOf(String).
