  102     if (weakRef == NULL || (*env)->ExceptionCheck(env)) {

Isn't the only time it will return NULL when an exception occurs? 
Conversely if an exception occurs then it must return NULL - so the 
exception check seems redundant.

But this also suggests you need similar logic at:

  182         weakRef = JNI_FUNC_PTR(env,NewWeakGlobalRef)(env, node->ref);

  456                 lref = JNI_FUNC_PTR(env,NewLocalRef)(env, node->ref);

Or more generally any JNI call from JVMTI should be wrapped in a way 
that checks for exceptions and clears them.
