The URLFactory has a 1 for 1 matchup of the URL Constructors. If the
handler isn't passed in, the URLFactory will parse the protocol from the
spec and figure out the appropriate handler using Eclipse's
URLStreamHandlerFactory.

Yep. The construction isn't portable between ClassLoaders.
For rt.jar I did some analysis a while back and URI.toURL() was the only
example I found that was really problematic.
Most other cases were really looking for file:// URLs and in the odd
case protocols directly supported in the VM.
In theory we could do more byte-code weaving for bundles that use
URI.toURL() but perhaps this is fighting a losing battle as any class
not loaded by the EclipseClassLoader that constructs URLs potentially
has this problem.
Still a neat idea ...
I'm not quite ready to throw in the towel and am open to spending some
time on this.
More analysis would be appreciated - especially on the verifier side.

Could be that we can't do it transparently in which case this is the way
to go.
