I'm not sure this change needed to be made.  The field h is not 
publically accessible - it is protected within Proxy, user code should 
not extend Proxy directly, and internally created proxy classes never 
change the value of h.  I thought making it final (like we made 
Integer.value final) provided more security from bad reflection code.
