Patching the class name work around the Class::getName to get the class 
name of non-findable class and also Class::isHidden to work properly.

W.r.t. resolution, we're teasing out various issues.    The above is how 
the unsafe VM anonymous gets resolved symbolic reference to itself.  I 
am still seeing CNFE or NCDFE in some test cases including your pro test 
case.  I suspect there is somewhere that triggers class loading of 
this_class since it's not registered in the system dictionary.
