Changes in the ORB loading in 8u5 causes incompatibility changes for

expectation on finding the custom ORBSingleton class using the context
classloader. Proper approach is to expect to find such classes on the
system classloader. For JDK 9, the 8u5(new) behaviour will remain.
Right, it doesn't make sense to use the TCCL to locate the
system-wide/singleton ORB and then cache it but clearly some
applications that were bundle their own ORB with conflicting
configuration are running into this. The change in the webrev looks okay
to me (for 8u, not 9 where I agree that we keep the correct behavior).
