Yes, that's what initially draw my attention.

I agree with you that DMH.make() should not observe both 
m.getReferenceKind() == REF_invokeSpecial and callerClass == null at the 
same time.

If you want to rely on "callerClass != null" for now, then add an 
explicit check and throw InternalError instead of NPE.
