A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Works in u51, fails in u60:

        NashornScriptEngine engine = (NashornScriptEngine) new ScriptEngineManager().getEngineByName("nashorn");
        ScriptContext otherCtxt = new SimpleScriptContext();
        engine.setContext(otherCtxt);
        otherCtxt.setBindings(engine.createBindings(), ScriptContext.ENGINE_SCOPE);
        engine.eval("aglobal = function(){return 12;};");
        // move code-to-reuse to global scope
        otherCtxt.setBindings(otherCtxt.getBindings(ScriptContext.ENGINE_SCOPE), ScriptContext.GLOBAL_SCOPE);
        // create throw-away engine scope
        otherCtxt.setBindings(engine.createBindings(), ScriptContext.ENGINE_SCOPE);
        engine.eval("alocal = function() {return aglobal();}");

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 8u51

ADDITIONAL REGRESSION INFORMATION:
java version "1.8.0_51"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_51-b16)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.51-b03, mixed mode)

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
With u60:
        NashornScriptEngine engine = (NashornScriptEngine) new ScriptEngineManager().getEngineByName("nashorn");
        ScriptContext otherCtxt = new SimpleScriptContext();
        engine.setContext(otherCtxt);
        otherCtxt.setBindings(engine.createBindings(), ScriptContext.ENGINE_SCOPE);
        engine.eval("aglobal = function(){return 12;};");
        // move code-to-reuse to global scope
        otherCtxt.setBindings(otherCtxt.getBindings(ScriptContext.ENGINE_SCOPE), ScriptContext.GLOBAL_SCOPE);
        // create throw-away engine scope
        otherCtxt.setBindings(engine.createBindings(), ScriptContext.ENGINE_SCOPE);
        engine.eval("alocal = function() {return aglobal();}");

This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Use engine.eval("alocal()");
or
engine.compile(...)

But: cannot pass args to function, slower in my tests.
