Yes, it is still true.

The 'nasty FreeBSD bug' is that running the latest OpenJDK 6 or 7 will
cause pretty much all version of FreeBSD back to 8.0 to instantly
reboot.  This is actually a FreeBSD kernel bug.

Watch the freebsd-announce at ... list -- there will be at least an Errata
notice for all supported releases.
