Yes. Moreover, I've just checked and the verifier complains about 
non-array types on stack for arraylength instruction.

Caused by: java.lang.VerifyError: Bad type on operand stack in arraylength
Exception Details:
   Location:
     Test.length(Ljava/lang/Object;)I @1: arraylength
   Reason:
     Invalid type: 'java/lang/Object' (current frame, stack[0])
   Current Frame:
     bci: @1
     flags: { }
     locals: { 'java/lang/Object' }
     stack: { 'java/lang/Object' }

So, it seems longer term the only alternative to specialization is Unsafe.

Yeah, backward jumps cause issues to one-pass solutions.
