Probably.
I did manage a workaround by implementing two changes. One was to override all 
the SRC_URI md5sum and sha256sum values from a 
recipes-core/icedtea/icedtea7-native_2.1.3.bbappend file.
The other was to add a patch to fix the checksums listed in 
icedtea-2.1.3/Makefile.am by adding a patch file to the SRC_URI in the same 
bbappend file.
(Apparently the old (erroneous) checksums are baked-into Makefile.am.)
