No,the fix is already in JDk8u20 and JDK9, which is addressed by https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8033389. JDK-8039093 actually partially backport JDK-8033389. The medium level is still available in JDK7, but not in JDK8u20 and JDK9,

JDK-8039093 is not delivered to JDK 8 train according to JBS. Is it correct?

I don't think this is a P5. I think it's more like a P3. The blind user has no way of knowing that "0% 0" means Medium, "50% 1" means High, and "100% 2" means Very High. Until it is fixed this dialog is unusable by blind users unless they are given training. I assume this also violates one of the sections of OAG 2.
