Change in JDK 1.7.0_25 breaks all grails applications

Change in JDK 1.7.0_25 breaks all grails applications:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=976693
I just tried grails 2.2.3 – the problem is still not fixed, the application fails to start with an error message “Could not determine Hibernate dialect for database name [H2]”
Any workarounds suggesting to replace hibernate libraries don’t work.
The following additional parameter allows to start grails:

grails -noreloading run-app

But hey, it’s no fun to start in no-reloading mode! Oracle, but things back!
