OK, I'm finding some information on this. I will have to do some more follow up reading up on this to determine what locale applies to my running of the jvm unless someone happens to know?
I guess as you say it still comes down to whether or not this should be in effect. That is the jvm is run with the C locale, then no bug report for file.encoding US-ASCII.
If not, my locale should not be C/POSIX, then there should be a bug report as I should be UTF-8. 
Again, MacRoman no longer applies, period, which was what I originally questioned. But the rationale for the change pertaining to locale is interesting.
