The JPA spec does not describe any rule specifically. I think that means
the expected rules of Java are applied which are the JLS ones.

I don't know about the other providers but I did some digging in Hibernate ORM
It does partially honor the JLS rules. It will find a matching constructor but not
necessarily the most specific matching constructor.

I have never seen anyone complain for the record.
