Again, the rules for the langtools repository require that all patches
be accompanied by a test, unless the accompanying JBS issue has one of
the "noreg-" tags.

These noreg- tags are only allowed in a very small number of cases.  One
of these is for "cleanup" patches (indicated by "noreg-cleanup"), which
are explicitly *not* supposed to introduce any behavior changes.
However, accidents do happen, and in this case, one did.

The fix for this accident clearly intends to change the behavior of
javac, and thus, it must be accompanied by a test in order to be
integrated into the jdk9 forest.
