This would be important as [JDK-8272914](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8272914) would start to run them in tier3.

LGTM. one nit: it should be possible to reduce clutter by removing `@compile` actions, could you please either do that here or file an RFE?
PS I wish jtreg had a way not to duplicate all these tags, perhaps w/ some kind of a preprocessor.
