Kevin/Jonathan -
Steve's example in the Jira captures perfectly what I was
encountering in Java, and I've been trying to boil it down into a
minimal failing example - reconciling it with what I've
experienced in dynamic languages.
Turns out it's about whether or not you extend Application. This
leads me to believe that it's something in Application's
classloading that enables your example to work cleanly.
Try your class out again - with the minor edits I've made below:
public class Example /* extends Application */ {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//this is called from a static block in
javafx.scene.control.Control
PlatformImpl.setDefaultPlatformUserAgentStylesheet();
Application.launch(args);
}
/*@Override*/
public void start(final Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
}
}
Cheers,
SR

discussion can start in there and most probably a new bug
will need to be opened (as RT-28754
<https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-28754> did result in
a code change that at one point appears to have fixed the
problem, so we're possibly dealing with a regression).

good starting point is to develop a simple test application
that helps to demonstrate this issue (preferably the test
case is a single class with no dependencies), and which you
can then share in the jira issue via copy/paste into a comment.
