If it helps, changes we manage to push into OpenJDK should show up sooner or later in proprietary JDKs. That said, I agree, a scheme that makes it harder to use proprietary JDKs would undo a lot of work Fedora (and JPackage) have put into the Java packaging guidelines.
I have to admit, I am really not following the proposed change here nor the reason for it.
I can say that the reason for moving the jni libdir is that libraries in %{_libdir} are dynamically linked vs. dlopened like JNI libs are.
Otherwise, %{_jnidir} has always been %{_prefix}/lib/java (even on 64-bit) as it was created before multiarch support. After which, I believe certain Linux distros may have changed it to %{_libdir}/java, but on Fedora it seems to be %{_prefix}/lib/java.
On Debian, they use /usr/lib/jni (the equivalent of /usr/lib/java on Fedora). It is different because they put any jars which dlopen into /usr/lib/java.
Debian does patch openjdk to search /usr/lib/jni:/lib:/usr/lib plus the multiarch equivalent (cf. <http://code.ohloh.net/file?fid=NMn8r1Wko1rlfhxLd2cwIvqpuPU&cid=vP7_57sIM8s&s=&fp=5549&mp=&projSelected=true#L0>).
