In bug 4951689 a member of the JDC has found yet another instance of
failing the gaurantee in codeCache for accessing zombie methods. This
was with -server and 1.4.2_06 so it was not an instance of 4951689 but
another new bug. The JDC member included the stack trace which is
included below:

It is not obvious what is the cause of the failure. Since it is generic
code it is likley that -client also will fail. However the client compilers
use of deoptimization is different enough it might not happen. It seems
likely that using -XX:-StackTraceInThrowable will workaround the problem.
