Nashorn: "duplicate code" assertion when binding a vararg function that just passes arguments along

FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.8.0_144"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_144-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.144-b01, mixed mode)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.14393]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
If a varargs function that only passes the arguments to another function rather than using them directly is bound after the first time it is called, binding fails with a "duplicate code" assertion if assertions are enabled.

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 8u121

ADDITIONAL REGRESSION INFORMATION:
The code does not assert in version 1.8.0_40; however, that is before the assertion was added, so I do not know if the underlying issue of generating duplicate function specializations is a regression.

java version "1.8.0_40"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_40-b26)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.40-b25, mixed mode)

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run the code listed in the "Source code for an executable test case" field with assertions enabled.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Only one function specialization should be generated when binding.
ACTUAL -
Two identical function specializations were generated, resulting in a "duplicate code" assertion.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
import javax.script.ScriptEngine;
import javax.script.ScriptEngineManager;

public class BindErrorTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        ScriptEngine engine = new ScriptEngineManager().getEngineByName("nashorn");
        engine.eval("var fn2 = function () {};\n" +
                "\n" +
                "var fn = function () {\n" +
                " fn2.apply(null, arguments);\n" +
                "};\n" +
                "\n" +
                "fn();\n" +
                "fn.bind();\n");
    }
}
---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Create a new function that calls the desired function with the correct "this" and arguments instead of binding. Alternatively, don't enable assertions.
