I've just had a look at sablevm's postinst... which installs the 
update-alternative entry for java... and it does not seem to do this...
(so no bug):

        update-alternatives \
            --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/bin/java-sablevm 350 \
            --slave $man/java.1.gz java.1.gz $man/java-sablevm.1.gz


Hein, can you send the output of:

> update-alternatives --display java
