and after compiling, recompile Sample.java with the same sourcepath, using the dest in the javac bootcp.

Expected output:

---%<---
Note: Found clazz: java.lang.Number
Note: Found clazzes: java.lang.Object,java.lang.String
---%<---

Under either JDK 6 or 7, I get

---%<---
Note: Found clazz: java.lang.Number

Generally, MirroredTypesException is never thrown when it is supposed to be; rather, MirroredTypeException is thrown on the first element of the array.
