A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I ran into the same issue as https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8229376. The example there is still valid and compilation fails with openjdk 11.0.13 2021-10-19:

compiler message file broken: key=compiler.misc.msg.bug arguments=11.0.13, {1}, {2}, {3}, {4}, {5}, {6}, {7}
java.lang.AssertionError: Incorrect number of arguments; expected 4, found 0

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Compile provided example.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Compiler should compile.
ACTUAL -
Compiler does not compile
