It seems this is the case. I've done this right after the installation 
of Oracle 8u152.
After reading a little bit about the find_java_runtime function, it 
seems that it only uses the alternatives list if it gets no parameter.

Yes, I'm absolutely sure I've set the default. At one point I even tried 
to set the /usr/lib/jvm/default-java symlink to point to the newly 
installed directory but this got ignored as well.

So please reassign this bug.
As a side note the documentation of find_java_runtime doesn't really 
mention the role of the parameter (it's the minimum version or the 
wanted version), so maybe this should be fixed as well.
