This is exactly the change I tried while doing local build in
pbuilder. But there is one small mistake in your commit. You removed
the comma after libbytecode-java build-dep. Not sure if that is
causing the build problem.

The virtual package java2-compiler is provided by all the different
java compilers in repositories. But considering that non-virtual
package openjdk-6-jdk comes first in the build dependencies, I don't
see a reason why pbuilder would pick other compiler.

Can you please make sure that your pbuilder chroot does not have a
non-sun java compiler installed inside ex. gcj or kaffe etc. The error
you mentioned about mising API will come form such a compiler.
