No, but the following code in the function NET_InetAddressToSockaddr
in net_util_md.c in OpenJDK's JVM causes this:

        if (family == IPv4) { /* will convert to IPv4-mapped address */
            memset((char *) caddr, 0, 16);
            address = (*env)->GetIntField(env, iaObj, ia_addressID);
            if (address == INADDR_ANY) {
                /* we would always prefer IPv6 wildcard address
                   caddr[10] = 0xff;
                   caddr[11] = 0xff; */
            }

I'll fix this.
