Actually, I think with your work to split Foo.default away from JCFieldAccess, this should be fixed independently in both mainline (for java.lang.class example you report) and in Valhalla for java.lang.default case we are discussing. With the code split, fixing mainline won't automatically fix Valhalla issue with java.lang.default. 

However, I am fine with that being handled on a separate ticket by itself without blocking or side tracking this PR/RFR and also the work on treating .default as a poly expression.
