Let Spark speak for himself, but IMHO let's discuss the specific case before considering it as a rule, this is not yet another "reverse engineering", the testcase is clear, without injection or reflection, and the method under test is a constructor which invokes a public method, so that user may have risk cannot to init their subclass of HashMap.

I can not figure out what RI does. And please refer to JIRA 839, it
reports similar use case.
My point here is
1. we may not be able to predict how users will use our library.
2. Users could guess our implementation w/o difficulty, which
contradicts the encapulation priciple.
So I prefer to follow RI on this behavior.

When changing to UnsupportedOperationException, the use case is more
practical, since it is highly like that put operation is not supported.
But it seems not so practical that this sub-hashMap can not be
instantiated. May be one more assertion can convince you that this is bug.

public class SubMapTest extends TestCase {
public void testSubclass() {
HashMap map = new HashMap();
map.put("a", "a");
SubMap map2 = new SubMap(map);
assertEquals(1, map2.size());
}
}

class SubMap<K, V> extends HashMap<K, V> {
public SubMap(Map<? extends K, ? extends V> m) {
super(m);
}

public V put(K key, V value) {
throw new RuntimeException();
}
}
