The fix for JDK-8005994 was incomplete and missed a null check.
This wasn't found by JPRT or nightly testing since they both used JDK8-b72. However, JDK8-b73 starts to exercise this code path.

No regression test provided for this fix. Not enough information provided in the bug about how to reproduce it.
I have verified as much as I can by inspection, making sure that the NULL pointer check is there.
