I used jdb (redefine). I found that add/remove method worked for private
methods, but not for public ones, so that explains it. I was examining a
bug which now turned out to be a regression of
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8149743 - only in my case it was
not a lambda method but just an ordinary private method.

Sorry for the noise.
