If a MethodHandles.Lookup call allows more access to a method than its corresponding bytecode behavior, that is definitely a bug.

Recent updates to the javadoc for Lookup (in JDK 8) emphasize this correspondence principle strongly.  If it breaks, we want to know about it.

Thanks for the report and the double-check.
