It seems that with 7u25 the result is "shifted" for one calling

Right, there is an additional frame that means that getClassClass is out
by one. This change was unintentional (meaning a bug) and Mandy has a
fix coming in 7u40 for this, the discussion has been on jdk7u-dev rather
than here:

As regards getting people off sun.reflect.Reflection.getCallerClass(int)
then the proposal is aggressive, you can read the details but it
essentially means it will be disabled by default in 7u40.
