The sequence of events you describe seems to also match [JDK-8340364](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8340364), which I think we can close as duplicate, as I have not been able to convince even myself is a real bug, not just overzealous verification. So, what do you want to do? I can finish up #21064 and test it with your Metaspace assertion patches, if you want.

Thanks, let me just finish this, I need the closure after burning time on this non-bug :-)

Note that I did not fix up the use of the array mirror klass since I thought it should always be stable. We never redefine array classes. But then it does not hurt either.

I am also preparing a small improvement patch for print_obj, as per our discussion in https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/26117 yesterday, and will put the printing of the mirror klasses there, too.
