This looks like it's an error come from the code in javac.jar rather

That said, I expect that later in JDK 9 that we will need to drop
-Xbootclasspath/p and replace it with a means to override classes in
modules.

Alan,
In this context, javac.jar does not so much contain "a utility for
transforming .java files .class files" as much as "a significant body of
open source code suitable for testing the performance of a JVM". In
that context, it would not be appropriate to change javac.jar more than
necessary.
