I think the test calls `Class::newInstance` to create an instance of `TestClass1`.

The old implementation has one reference from `Constructor::clazz` field to `TestClass1`.  The new implementation should have 2 new references: `MethodHandle::member` whose `MemberName::clazz` field references it and `MethodHandle::type` as the signature is `()TestClass1`.   I would expect 2 additional references but not 1. 

@lmesnik does the debugger show MemberName::clazz?
