I wrote a trivial scratch file which exercises the code using a regular code 
builder and it did indeed use the expected path, FWIW. I'm honestly not sure 
what (if any) valid circumstances would cause this particular code to run on a 
label whose contest is not the code builder itself, so if anyone has any 
thoughts on that, please share.

I'll see if I can get the benchmarks in 
`test/micro/org/openjdk/bench/jdk/classfile` working. It looks like there may 
be one or more of them which would reach into this code.
