fwiw IME Java 1.7 prior to very recent updates is similarly affected, but you seem to have a good gasp of this issue so I will defer to your superior knowledge here..

There are concerns that the parameter size should now be larger than was

mechanism in the protocol to negotiate the DHE parameter size.
Furthermore there are clients fairly commonly encountered (e.g. Java
JSSE older than very recent releases) that do not accept a 2048-bit DHE
parameter from a server, and do not act gracefully as a result. For
these reasons it seems that DHE is normally best disabled on the server

wrong justification, that affects Java6 which don't support SNI and hence is anyways out of the game when it comes to ATS, all other known clients supporting DHE while not ECDHE are happy with a 2048 prime

Java 6u45  No SNI 2 Client does not support DH parameters > 1024 bits
