Semyon, please look at this issue, can we fix it for 9?

Rajeev, since this is a regression from 8 b132, you should fix or propose to defer with label

Rajeev, does it affect 8 GA (b132)?

No plans to fix for JDK 7 and 8. Dev may decide to fix for tbd_minor/tbd_major If there's a customer bug filed we may revisit the 7-wnf/8-wnf - will not fix position, and of course the OpenJDK community may decide to address this if they require.
