FYI: this is due to the fix for 6530420 in JDK7 and 6-open inherited it. Bug 6573289 was filed against JDK7. Whilst its resolved differently in JDK 7, it looks like backing out some part of 6530420 is what needs to be done here ( 6-open).

Hi, OpenJDK 6 fails to meet the API requirements for Color.createContext. Specifically: "The same PaintContext is returned, regardless of whether or not r, r2d, xform, or hints are null." As it is today, Color.createContext will return a different PaintContext every time it is called. The attached patch corrects this. Keith
