Using jdb to evaluate 'java.util.Arrays.asList(array)' shows inconsistent behaviour.

(1) Java runtime says:
Arrays.asList(array) : [testArrays$1@cac736f, testArrays$2@5e265ba4]
Arrays.asList(array).size() : 2

(2) Jdb says:
eval java.util.Arrays.asList(array);
 java.util.Arrays.asList(array); = "[[Ljava.awt.event.MouseListener;@156643d4]"
eval java.util.Arrays.asList(array).size();
 java.util.Arrays.asList(array).size(); = 1

TO REPRODUCE:

(1) src
-------
% more testArrays.java
import java.awt.event.MouseAdapter;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;

public class testArrays {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    MouseAdapter mouseAdapter1 = new MouseAdapter(){};
    MouseAdapter mouseAdapter2 = new MouseAdapter(){};
    MouseAdapter[] array = new MouseAdapter[]{mouseAdapter1, mouseAdapter2};
    List<MouseAdapter> list = Arrays.asList(array);
    System.out.println("list : " + list);
    System.out.println("list.size() : " + list.size());
    System.out.println("Arrays.asList(array) : " + Arrays.asList(array));
    System.out.println("Arrays.asList(array).size() : " +
Arrays.asList(array).size());
// breakpoint here, evaluate Arrays.asList(array).size()

  }
}


(2) compile and run
-------------------
% /jdk1.8.0_40/bin/javac -g testArrays.java
% /jdk1.8.0_40/bin/java testArrays
list : [testArrays$1@15db9742, testArrays$2@6d06d69c]
list.size() : 2
Arrays.asList(array) : [testArrays$1@15db9742, testArrays$2@6d06d69c]
Arrays.asList(array).size() : 2
%


(3) debug
---------
% /jdk1.8.0_40/bin/jdb testArrays

16 System.out.println("Arrays.asList(array).size() : " +
Arrays.asList(array).size());

main[1] eval list
 list = "[testArrays$1@cac736f, testArrays$2@5e265ba4]"
main[1] eval list.size()
 list.size() = 2
main[1] eval java.util.Arrays.asList(array)
 java.util.Arrays.asList(array) =
"[[Ljava.awt.event.MouseListener;@156643d4]"
main[1] eval java.util.Arrays.asList(array).size()
 java.util.Arrays.asList(array).size() = 1
main[1] exit
Arrays.asList(array).size() : 2
%


Workaround
----------
The following code works as expected:

substitute the following lines
 MouseListener[] array = new MouseListener[]{mouseAdapter1, mouseAdapter2};
 List<MouseListener> list = Arrays.asList(array);
by
 MouseAdapter[] array = new MouseAdapter[]{mouseAdapter1, mouseAdapter2};
 List<MouseAdapter> list = Arrays.asList(array);
