EVALUATION
I verified that the problem is caused by my changes for 5091921 fix:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/hotspot-comp/hotspot/rev/bad7ecd0b6ed
Tests passed with -XX:-LoopLimitCheck.
I traced it to new code which changes loop check "for(i != lim; i++)" to "for(i < lim; i++)". Such conversion is incorrect when initial value is >= lim (note, such loops are terminated by other checks inside loop's body).
