This bug is fixed in 8u91-b14-2ubuntu1:

shell$ java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0_91"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_91-8u91-b14-2ubuntu1-b14)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.91-b14, mixed mode)

And based on the changelog, for Ubuntu 16.04, it should be fixed in 8u77-b03-3ubuntu4 and later. Commenter in comment #5 seems to have been running unfixed version 8u77-b03-3ubuntu3.

Do note that appending anything to the version update number (like "-Ubuntu"), as suggested in comment #5, is a bad idea -- some applications will crash with java.lang.NumberFormatException when parsing a string like "03-Ubuntu". Here's an example:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/762286/since-ubuntu-16-04-javaws-no-longer-run-app-while-previously-run-fine-on-ubuntu

The version update number seems to be assumed to be a number by several applications.

Fixed packages for Xenial should be produced as this breaks Java applications out there.
