These failures are not observed on other platforms.
Comments
Inside the NativeCipher.init(...) impl, when no AAD is supplied for GCM mode, it returns w/o calling nativeInit(...) in an attempt to defer the nativeInit(...) call after AAD has been supplied. Thus, the native context never get initialized properly which leads to the test failure. Need to call nativeInit(...) regardless whether AAD is supplied or not.

Shouldn't this one be targeted for JDK 8?

This only happens for OracleUcrypto provider. When Cipher.getInstance(algo) is called without provider, OracleUcrypto is picked as default. Provider "SunJCE" works fine.
