Java VM specification reads:
...
InstantiationError: A symbolic reference has been encountered that is used in a class instance creation expression,
but an instance cannot be created because the reference turns out to refer to an interface or to an abstract class. This
can occur, for example, if a class that is originally not abstract is changed to be abstract after another class that
refers to the class in question has been compiled.
...

But JVM in Merlin b51 throws InstantiationException instead of InstantiationError.
