I recommend hooking up your isMacintosh boolean so it's set from a
configurable property, or at least overridable by a property. When Apple
fixes the bug, you can then disable your work-around in the field, perhaps
by looking for a specific range of JVM versions where it occurs. Otherwise
you have to issue a bug-fix to fix Apple's bug-fix.

I also recommend NOT using your boolean as a generalized "this platform is
Mac OS" indicator. Otherwise you tie all kinds of other workarounds (or
even non-workarounds) to what should be a specific workaround for a
specific bug.

No workaround or bug-fix should make your code more brittle or less adaptable.
