Stephen, In your case(s) would the workaround fail to work if the bug was fixed?

No. The workaround would handle the fixed implementation just fine. And all workarounds would ultimately be similar to mine. https://github.com/OpenGamma/OG-Platform/blob/master/projects/OG-Util/src/main/java/com/opengamma/util/JdkUtils.java#L26

I guess if you take the "This is one of those unfortunate cases where a bug can become a feature." approach to its logical conclusion then no bugs get fixed because there are no bugs, just a nice online list of newly discovered unexpected features.

Thats the underlying part of the issue here that concerns me.
