Test is fine. Just one note/clarification:

  63         // Loading (but not linking) Container will succeed.

Container was already loaded as part of the failing forName call, so 
this second forName will just return it.

Hmm.  I could use a different classloader instance for the second 
Class.forName() call.

(The test does fail as expected using a build with 8212117 but without 
8233091.)
