Yes, it's definitely a regression.  Probably at least partly my fault,
so I've fixed it in r417017.

Gregory, this should almost fix the ordering issue except for String
which has moved out of the kernel classes in to luni.  But as Tim says
the real solution is to load the VM's versions of kernel classes first
the same way the IBM VME does it.
