It reproduced in jre7u13b09 on MAC 10.8 disableJavaManual_NonMultipleJREScenarios/testDisabledByAdmin disableJavaManual_NonMultipleJREScenarios/testAdminDisabledFirstThenStandardUserUnprivileged

The reason for this is that the helper application that is run with elevated privileges and changes the symlinks for some reason is not run. I cannot reproduce this on 10.7 and the only systems that can reproduce it intermittently are 10.8.
