Ah, guess that's what happens when I work on a Saturday.

No, it depends on JMX being started for one (which happens later in 
bootstrap), whereas logging.xml installs itself first thing in order to 
grab JDK logging messages early on.  I did try this initially, hoping that 
I could come up with some way to defer the bean installation until the 
dependencies had been met but I couldn't make it work.  We could add a 
later bootstrap phase for it, but that doesn't seem all that different from 
what I'm doing now in terms of timing.
