Any attempt to set sun.boot.library.path causes VM to fail

FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.5.0"

JAVA_HOME is not set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not set
LIB_PATH is not set


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
set CLASSPATH=
set PATH=
set LD_LIBRARYPATH=
set LIB_PATH=
set JAVA_HOME=
c:\jdk1.5.0\bin\java -Dsun.boot.library.path=anything TestVM


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
should run the TestVM.class main() method:

public class TestVM {
public static void main(String args[]) {
System.out.println("DONE");
}
}


ACTUAL -
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Unable to load native library: Can't find dependent libraries

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Unable to load native library: Can't find dependent libraries

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
public class TestVM {
public static void main(String args[]) {
System.out.println("DONE");
}
}
---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Well obviously don't use -Dsun.boot.library.path option when starting VM.

However, I if you need to use -Xbootclasspath and load system libraries with System.loadLibrary then in previous jdk's the solution was to use -Dsun.boot.library.path. I have not found a workaround for this.
