Media fails to load source from custom image, with jrt: URL

ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
Windows 7 64-bit
OpenJDK 10.0.2
JavaFX SDK 11 11-ea+21

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
In a modular JavaFX application developed with OpenJDK 10.0.2 and JavaFX SDK 11-ea+21, the FXML contains a MediaView that contains a MediaPlayer that contains a Media object whose source attribute is specified as a relative path. The application runs as expected when executed inside the IDE, and when executed on the command line as a modular jar. However, when a custom image is created out of the modular jar, the resulting application fails to load the FXML file.

My debugging shows that the source parameter used to construct the Media instance is a jrt URL: jrt:/demo/assets/TextInMotion-Sample-576p.mp4, and there is no provision in the Media class to support jrt URLs.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Build the project with
$ gradle clean build
Run the modular jar with
$ gradle run
Construct a custom image with
$ jlink --output demo --module-path C:/cygwin64/home/90019249/opt/javafx-jmods-11\;build/libs --add-modules demo --launcher demo=demo/foo.Main
Run the custom image with
$ demo/bin/demo

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The application runs as expected in both runs
ACTUAL -
The application runs as expected when ran as a modular jar.
The application fails to start with the following exception when ran from the custom image:

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
The work around is to leave the media file outside of the custom image and load it using a file: an http: or an https: URL. But that goes counter to the purpose of building a custom image.

FREQUENCY : always
