It seems that with 7u25 the result is "shifted" for one calling frame. Is that behavior change intentional to encourage people to "get off that wagon"?

Right, there is an additional frame that means that getClassClass is out by one. This change was unintentional (meaning a bug) and Mandy has a fix coming in 7u40 for this, the discussion has been on jdk7u-dev rather than here:

As regards getting people off sun.reflect.Reflection.getCallerClass(int) then the proposal is aggressive, you can read the details but it essentially means it will be disabled by default in 7u40.
