Yes, I agree with you. But they also say that the offending line is
actually useless (I wouldn't know as I don't write Java).

Supposedly OpenJDK-7 has this fixed already but isn't in the repos yet.

About using Sun's java, many things are just a click away, but that
doesn't make them right and Oracle's java is not free.

Also, Sven Boekhoff (the bug reporter) says that he tried with both
java and the bug didn't go away. This is unexpected.
