IcedTea builds a specific OpenJDK build drop with additional patches and extensions to make it usable. This ID is even more confusing because there is no b23 of OpenJDK6 yet. Both IcedTea6 1.10 and the forthcoming 1.11 are still using b22. So I don't know where this 'b23' is coming from...:-S

I ran a full comparison:

and fixed up some other differences too. As far as I can tell, the exception reports in the above are either wrong or undocumented. The 1.5 docs for the package state that these exceptions are thrown. All the other issues I've fixed and I'm building the result now. Will post here once the commit is in.

If this is an Ubuntu pre-release, then it's understandable but it would still be good of them to keep us in the loop. It shouldn't go out in a released Ubuntu as we only provide security updates for releases, not random snapshots.
