As of bug 1221448, we now leak instead of crashing when in-process plugins try to release memory off the main thread (a case that happens for those running older versions of Java 7). In order to have the memory freed properly, we need to forward the memory management operations to the main thread, while also synchronizing with the requesting thread to make sure the NPObject isn't destroyed before we deallocate.
Ben, given the deprecated status of the java plugin and our continuing deprecation of NPAPI, can this be resolved as WONTFIX?

Yeah, I don't think we should fix this.
