Attached is a patch that fixes the problem.  OK for a new 'java-work'
branch based off of the right maint-based commits (as to make new
tests like 'java-extra.test' and `java-noinst.test' available)?  We
can decide at a later date whether this branch has to be merged into
maint or into master only.

I'll push in 72 hours if there is no objection.
