Well, I see your point.
However, I am a little concerned that the security check isn't being
performed in the old buggy impl.
Is there any customer running into this, e.g. rely on the old behavior
with security manager enabled?

A recent fix was introduced to preserve the behaviour of an old buggy

The old behaviour is not fully restored with this flag if a security
manager lacking sufficient permissions is present. This could disrupt
legacy applications which may wish to rely on the old behaviour. Some
internal testing has also highlighted this.
To enhance the 8049250 fix, I'm proposing we delay the boolean flip
operation until post the security check.

Bug report is not public due to internal links and servers being
present in description.
I'd like to get this into JDK 9 and 8u20.
