Inference failure with unchecked subtyping and arrays

FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "9-ea"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 9-ea+122)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 9-ea+122, mixed mode)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Mac OS X 10.11.5

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Code which uses generics, varargs, and overloaded methods compiles on JDK 8 but fails to compile on JDK 9-ea+122.

Specifically, within the compose() method in the supplied Test class, the following line of code compiles on JDK 8 and 9:

Test.<Number> allOf(conditions);

But the following line does not compile on JDK 9:

allOf(conditions);

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 8u92

ADDITIONAL REGRESSION INFORMATION:
java version "1.8.0_92"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_92-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.92-b14, mixed mode)

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
javac Test.java

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
I expect the supplied Test class to compile on JDK 9.
ACTUAL -
The supplied Test class does not compile on JDK 9.

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :

1 error

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
public class Test {

public class Condition<T> {}

@SafeVarargs
public static <T> Condition<T> allOf(Condition<? super T>... conditions) {
return null;
}

public static <T> Condition<T> allOf(Iterable<? extends Condition<? super T>> conditions) {
return null;
}

@SafeVarargs
public static Condition<Number> compose(Condition<? super Number>... conditions) {

// Compiles on JDK 8 and JDK 9
Test.<Number> allOf(conditions);

// Compiles on JDK 8 but *fails* on JDK 9
allOf(conditions);

return null;
}
}
---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
The workaround is to explicitly supply the generic type (i.e., <Number>) as follows.

Test.<Number> allOf(conditions);
