Sun reports the Java bug is fixed in JDK7 beta 22:

http://download.java.net/jdk7/changes/jdk7-b22.html

However, the release notes for JDK5 and JDK6 do not mention fixes for
this bug, as far as I can tell.

The fix was straightforward, since correct code was already being used
in Solaris builds. But the Sun engineers were concerned about making
sure it passed all of their test suite, which is why it took a while.
I don't know if we'll see a similar fix from the JDK5 and JDK6 teams,
but I sure hope so.
