A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
If the underlying WritableByteChannel errors when closing a sun.nio.cs.StreamEncoder (as returned by Channels.newWriter), then the channel is not closed.

This is somewhat similar to JDK-6266377, but is not dependent on using a BufferedWriter.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
 - Create a subclass of WritableByteChannel which errors when calling .write, and prints some debugging message when closing.
 - Use Channels.newWriter to wrap an instance of this channel.
 - Write to the writer, and then close it.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The channel would be closed the exception thrown from .write() is propagated.
ACTUAL -
The channel is not closed, and the error from .write() is thrown.
