No idea why the install would fail on your system, though. Maybe a
bug, due to the fact that, as you suggested, the install-package
is quite old, and no longer works on more recent versions of OS X
(?) Unfortunately, I don't know how the installer checks for Java
being present,

Additional question: does the notice appear at the very start?
(Right after you get the warning about a script needing to run to
verify whether the installation can proceed?)
If so, you might get a clue if you look at the scripts in
the .dmg's contents (right-click + show package contents).
... and so I did, and found there is a VolumeCheck script, which
seems to rely on:
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/A/Resources/
version.plist
Aha, the script apparently always shows an error if the version is
greater than or equal to 10.4. Seems it's been a while since I
installed it. If I try to redo it, then it indeed fails here too...
Then again, as you discovered, the libraries are already available.
Normally, you shouldn't need to do anything special to make these
available, as this folder is added to the bootclasspath of the JVM...
Cheers
