This is a very tricky problem.

First, our verifier works in an all or nothing way, so if it find a typeload
error, it fails the whole method.
Second, when our JIT gets a broken method, it does abort compilation and raises
the exception.

We would need to fix both our verifier and JIT. This is a lot of work. I load
of it.

This change is too disrupting to be backported to 2.6, which is another problem
on its own.

So, unless we have this blocking an actual customer, it won't be done.
