Good, this matches the behavior of method handles for CSMs.   However, I think the implementation does the opposite since we don't support interface method being CSM.  Can you test that out?

I think the implementation does not support that.   I will also need to look into how this impacts JDK-8266010.  As I suggest earlier, I'm fine to do this as a follow up after integration.
