builtin_new throws InstantiationError but java.lang.Class.newInstance expects
InstantiationException.

We really should rewrite the VM not using builtin functions at all, but having builtins
only called from JIT code.  This is also important for fast-path builtins.

This is already on my TODO list for a long time.
