Thinking a bit more about this... It should be easy to create a test for 
this. Just:

* Create a Java source file which declares a native class.
* Compile that to the *.class equivalent.
* Write a library that implements the basic algo I mentioned, but is 
hardwired to:
     * Load in the contents of the *.class file.
     * Bind a method from the Java class to an arbitrary C++ function.
* Create a second Java class that subclasses, or otherwise uses, the 
library class and that does the System.loadLibrary before defining the 
class.
* Try and compile the new class.
