Java 12 triggers WeldException: WELD-001524: Unable to load proxy class for bean Implicit Bean

Starting any webapp with weld (weld-servelt-shaded.jar) under Java 12 results in an exception. With Java 11 everything works fine. See attached detailed log file. I think the relevant part is the following:
