System.getProperty(null) does actually throw the correct
NullPointerException. But the spec does indeed indicate that
System.getProperty("") should throw an IllegalArgumentException, which
it doesn't. Classpath also does this wrong.

I will look into it, but it might not make it for 3.1 since I have
already committed the previous patch and I might not have enough time to
change System and all other primitive wrapper classes correctly now.
