The explanation which Stuart gives for this change in https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8167005 seems to describe why this constructor is needed much better than the comment itself does. So I wonder if it's worth adding the link to the bug report in the comment. E.g.
// prevent generation of synthetic class required for access to private // constructor.
