Question: Will the suggested workaround adversely affect Aleph?
Oracle's current workaround is to remove execute from public for the following sys packages:

DBMS_JAVA
DBMS_JAVA_TEST
DBMS_JVM_EXP_PERMS

Resolution:
Written 14 Feb. 2010:
Aleph is still using Oracle 11gv1, while this warning applies to 11gv2.
Therefore no need to do anything.
