Yes, I understand what you are saying and nowhere are we questioning that
it worked in the past.
Best guess now is that somehow in 8u40 the checking switched from list A
to list B
and the bug is that they are not in sync .. and at the very least even
if it turns
out to be something utterly different those lists *should* be in sync.

Although its possible that on Windows we always checked the list that
accidentally omits
this property, its also going to be true that until JDK 7u6 there was
no Oracle JavaWs for Mac
and Oracle JRE's for other platforms were ignorant of this property
and so perhaps even a recent
Oracle JDK 6 update would reject it. However I expect an Oracle JDk
8u25 for Windows would
"allow" this property since the list is not per-platform, although any
variance in code path might affect that
because of the omission from one of the lists.

Additional information that may help:
For previous versions of Java, if you include the property
apple.laf.useScreenMenuBar for a different OS, such as
Windows OS, Java Console gives similar message, property
considered insecure
-I think that's always been correct behavior because the
property is only useful to Mac OS X
For previous versions of Java, menus will be missing on
Mac OS X if you omit the property apple.laf.useScreenMenuBar
-Because property enables menus, leaving it out or
ignoring the property takes away those menus.

Hello,
Looks like this is a duplicate of
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8074668
<https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8074668>
It should be fixed in 8u40b27
