What I don't quite understand is how a non-free package should block this
upgrade.
Yes, Java is used by a lot of people and I'd certainly not push this into
testing until the problem is solved, but we're talking about unstable here.
If Java is broken in unstable because of a Java bug (AFAIU this is really a
Java bug, not an X bug?) and is not so easy to fix, the by all means lets
break Java. Somebody apparently had pressure from somebody to push Java
into non-free, so reports that Java is broken in Debian unstable should get
the pressure up to get it fixed, no?
