FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.8.0_51"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_51-b16)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.51-b03, mixed mode)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
javac throws an AssertionError when compiling the following classes. While the structure of the classes looks similar to the case described in JDK-8067111 (which was resolved in 8u40), the problem still occurs with 8u51.

The problem does NOT occur on java 9, javac 1.9.0-ea-b72 complies those classes as expected

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Compile the classes using

javac *.java

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Classes compile without error
ACTUAL -
javac throws AssertionError, complete message/stack trace see below

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
An exception has occurred in the compiler (1.8.0_51). Please file a bug at the Java Developer Connection (http://java.sun.com/webapps/bugreport) after checking the Bug Parade for duplicates. Include your program and the following diagnostic in your report. Thank you.
