The real issue is that in https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8305608, a test infrastructure class `test/jdk/com/sun/jdi/VMConnection.java` was changed to use the `test.class.path` system property instead of the previously used `test.classes`.

As a result these tests still use the old `test.classes` system property to pass around the test classpath and thus causes these tests to fail. The reason why this only impacts virtual threads is noted by Chris in this JBS comment https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8305608?focusedId=14572100&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-14572100.

Looks good.
