Just out of curiosity, does it do this when you do:

s += Double.toString(d);

My personal preference would be to use this form anyways to avoid any
confusion. It probably produces the same byte code, but just as a check,
it might be worth a try.

Using a StringBuffer instead of a String might also be something to try.

That doesn't mean that there seems to be some sort of funky bug in the VM
or JIT that needs to be fixed, but in the mean time it is always nice to
be able to work around these things.
