I understand there's a disclaimer in the documentation regarding the first
 example.

Original Java code:

public Object makeObj(String name)
{
     final String objName = "My name is " + name;

     return new Object() {
           public String toString()
           {
                 return objName;
           }
     };
}

Inner classes in Java can access only finals in outer function
because anonymous classes store such variables in hidden fields.

Second sample is from the same category - access to stack frame which is 
gone.

Just be aware while writing converter.

The problem is not in runtime. Compiler should detect such cases.
Bugs like these are too hard to detect in runtime
especially if you are getting "invalid UTF-8 sequence".
