josm uses whatever the default java is on the system.
Could you please paste the output of:

$ LANG=C update-alternatives --display java

?

It seems like in your case openjdk's is the default one:

$ josm
Using /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/bin/java to execute josm.
[..]

If you want to use Sun's java, please change the alternative. Otherwise,
install openjdk-6-jre.

JOSM really supports both, so it's not wise to just force the dependency on
OpenJDK.

In the end, I think this is just a misconfiguration of your system, and the bug
can be closed.

Thanks,
David
