While evaluating RT-18255 I noticed that there is a dead code path in NativeLibLoader which should have been cleaned up in 2.0: the "usingJNLPAppletLauncher" path will never be legitimately used in JavaFX 2.0. This path was there to support JNLPAppletLauncher in JavaFX 1.x for the old plugin1. Since JavaFX is no longer delivered as a JNLP extension this code needs to be removed.
