I see this as a basic hole in the whole notion of "current module".
Surely if there is no module available then we should be in the

There isn't any notion of "current module". If there's no caller then
you can't make any assumptions as to who the caller is. Having these
methods assume java.base or the unnamed module of some class loader
doesn't seem right as there just isn't enough context. So having the
System.getLogger methods throw IllegalCallerException looks like sanest
thing here. It also doesn't prevent taking a different approach in the
future.
