The specification of javax.sound.midi.MidiChannel.controlChange(int,int) says:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
void controlChange(int controller,
                   int value)
   . . . 

Parameters:
    controller - the controller number (0 to 127; see the MIDI 1.0 Specification for the interpretation)
    value - the value to which the specified controller is changed (0 to 127)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unfortunatelly it is not said what happens if the "value" exceeds the specified range.
In case of openJDK if one calls 
  chanel.controlChange({control >= 64}, 133)
then the following call of 
  channel.getController({same control})
will return 133.

That is not conformant with getController(..)'s spec which says that the return value is to be in the range 0-127.
However the problem is more likely to be with the "setter" method.
