Yes, this seems very odd to me. Still, why did this fail for you? I was under the impression that URLConnection.getPermission() would return an AllPermission and not a FilePermission, which would have caused this hack not to be used. If the _url field has been initialized to URLConnection.getURL() then this should have worked fine with the original.
Anyways, saw your note that it all works now.
