A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Calling a default method on an instance produced by MethodHandleProxies.asInterface throws a " java.lang.InternalError: bad proxy method: ...

This is a bug because it violates the contract of the default methods, e.g. java.util.Comparator.reversed().
Passing an interface with default methods is supported, as indicated in the documentation of MethodHandleProxies.asInterface, which mentions java.util.Comparator as example.

Therefore it is exprected that the resulting instance follows the contract of the default method, which could be done by calling the default implementation of that default method.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Create an instance of an interface with at least one default method using MethodHandleProxies.asInterface(Class, MethodHandle).
Call a default method on that instance.


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
No exception is thrown.
ACTUAL -
An exception is thrown.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Use the LambdaMetaFactory. This might not work for all cases and is more complicated than the simple MethodHandleProxy.

FREQUENCY : always
