Thanks for posting, and for the stack dump. I found this:
https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2557048
which looks like the same error. (No responses at the time of this post.)

However, the last line of Jython's code that is involved here is:
http://hg.python.org/jython/file/3d2dbae23c52/src/org/python/core/JavaImportHelper.java#l161
and it simply calls java.lang.Package.getPackages() (no arguments).

In java.lang.Package, null is passed as the file name to a File(String) constructor, and this file name comes from a list of system packages in the JVM. It's difficult to see how Jython could pollute that. I half suspect a JVM bug. Or a badly-behaving custom class loader?
