JDK-8134612 - clipboard.getData(dataFlavor) can throw UnsupportedFlavorException for registered data flavor
Description
Running this test java/awt/datatransfer/ConstructFlavoredObjectTest/ConstructFlavoredObjectTest.java on Ubuntu 16.04 I'm getting this new exception:

java.awt.datatransfer.UnsupportedFlavorException: text/plain
	at sun.awt.datatransfer.SunClipboard.getData(java.desktop@9-ea/SunClipboard.java:215)
	at ConstructFlavoredObjectTest.main(ConstructFlavoredObjectTest.java:57)

There used to be an InternalError as in JDK-8133719 -- and I still see it on Ubuntu 14.04 with Xfce -- but that UnsupportedFlavor may be something new. Please investigate.

Comments
It seems I cannot evaluate this issue without access to those machines.

Yes, BTW I have that unsupported flavor on both fairly up-to-date Ubuntu 16.04 with Unity and rather stale OEL 7.1. Note that both machines are purely testing/building devices with only English input enabled and without i.e. mail agents etc. A system with 14.04 and Xfce4 is my main machine with everything and more. Perhaps there's some setup issue.

Yuri, do you use updated 16.04? I get the same exception as JDK-8133719 on Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 16.04.
