Broken crypto algorithm PBEWithHmacSHA256AndAES_256

FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.8.0_102"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_102-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.102-b14, mixed mode)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.10586]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Retrieving a serialized form of a javax.crypto.SealedObject (using JRE 1.8.0_74 or newer) that was previously sealed using PBEWithHmacSHA256AndAES_256 in JRE 1.8.0_66 (or earlier) will fail with
java.security.InvalidKeyException: Given final block not properly padded

My tests show that the sealing/unsealing cycle works fine when both are performed by a VM that lies in closed range [1.8.0_74, 1.8.0_102] or [1.8.20, 1.8.0_66] (the ranges that I could test).
Hence, the breaking change must have been introduced by 1.8.0_74.
I noted that other PBE algorithms look to be working fine across this point, for example, PBEWithHmacSH1AndAES_128 and PBEWithHmacSH256AndAES_128 had not issue when sealed with 1.8.0_60 and unsealed with 1.8.0_102.

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 8u77

ADDITIONAL REGRESSION INFORMATION:
java version "1.8.0_66"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_66-b18)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.66-b18, mixed mode)

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1- Run the test case I've provided named "generateSealedObject()" to obtain the byte[] corresponding to the serialized form of the sealed object, which contains string "test data", using JDK 1.8.0_66 or older.
2- Using the byte array obtained from step 1, run test case named "unsealFailsAfter8u74()" using JDK 1.8.0_66 or older. Confirm that the test passes by retrieving the sealed data,without throwing any exception.
3- Repeat step 2 using JDK 1.8.0_74 or newer. Confirm that the test fails by generating the exception mentioned earlier, "java.security.InvalidKeyException: Given final block not properly padded".

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The test in step 3 should've passed without throwing any exception
ACTUAL -
java.security.InvalidKeyException: Given final block not properly padded
