Follow-up Comment #8:

Ah I forgot about __chk_java_sprt__ - yes that might be patched as suggested-
but hopefully it and the rest of the io package still works for (much) older
Java versions as well.
If bug reports pop up we can always suggest to update Java. But I think most
people do, or at least should, have fairly up-to-date Java anyway because of
patched security issues - at least the distro I'm using (Mageia) regularly
updates it. Having an outdated Java installed isn't a very sensible thing to
do.

(Anyway it's a typical case of too new a Java version :-) 
Apparently the version method has changed in recent Java versions.)
