9 b02 JRE installer on MAC OS 10.8.x works fine. The dmg file opens with all the standard installation steps, as expected in a normal install.

This does not appear to be reproducible with JDK 8 b111 promoted. Not closing since it is suspected it is intermittent. Regardless, SQE-OK to defer from JDK8. No functionality is effected. Just less-snazzy UE.
