One can point the tzupdater tool to a custom tzdata bundle URL containing the corrected line/patch using the '-l' option. https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/tzupdater-readme.html#usage One such custom 2024b bundle is available at https://bugs.openjdk.org/secure/attachment/110991/tzdata2024b-modified.tar.g... (one should probably inspect it before using it) i.e. following command would workaround the tzupdater issue java -jar tzupdater.jar -l https://bugs.openjdk.org/secure/attachment/110991/tzdata2024b-modified.tar.g... regards, Sean.

The maintainer is aware of it. The proposed change has already been added to the development git repository. I don't know if there will be a 2024c release to help silence all the bug reports. Technically, it isn't a bug in tzdata. It's just that the full month names break the current Java tzupdater utility.
