Likely it is related to running of .jar files without explicit java command. In a similar way wine may install a handler for .exe files in addition to default configuration for native ELF binaries and #!/... shebangs.

With two JRE packages installed there is uncertainty which one is configured as a handler for kernel. The reliable way is wrappers for every application that specify what particular java version it needs.

There might be low-priority configuration options for jre packages or some tools to manage priorities in binfmt-related package. Almost certainly you can disable the feature completely.
