Looking at the revised JAR specification, approved in [1], it is
disappointing that the spec contains text which is specific to
a JAR file being used in a classloader:

loader opening the context JAR immediately following the path of the
context JAR. Any duplicated URLs are omitted.|
That text would seem not to apply to javac and other tools that may wish
to process the class files in a JAR file.
That should be fixed as it should apply at compile-time too.
