We've simplified the testcase to some extent, and there don't appear to be any obvious structural errors. After enabling the -Xint option, the JDK no longer reports this error, so we suspect it might be related to a JIT issue. STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM : javac -source 17 -target 17 -Xlint:none -encoding UTF-8 -cp .
