Failure to parse generic constructor bytecode

ExtendJ 8.1.0-24-g7c0a012 Java SE 5

ExtendJ fails to parse the bytecode for this class:

package runtime;

// This is used by a test to verify that ExtendJ can load generic constructor signatures.
public class GenericConstructor {
  public <T> GenericConstructor(T t) {
  }
}

The failure is triggered by this test that uses the constructor:

// Test that ExtendJ correctly parses generic constructor bytecode.
// .result: COMPILE_PASS
// .classpath: @RUNTIME_CLASSES@
import runtime.GenericConstructor;

public class Test {
  void pass() {
    new GenericConstructor(this);
  }
}

Expected result: the program should compile correctly if the class GenericConstructor is loaded from bytecode compiled with Javac.

Actual result: when the class GenericConstructor is loaded from bytecode, ExtendJ crashes:
