Linkage error when doing remote JNDI lookup from messaging subsystem

Working on AS7-4626 to add JMS bridge, the messaging subsystem now need to perform remote JNDI lookup on another AS7 instances.

I added the org.jboss.remote-naming to the org.jboss.as.messaging to be able to load org.jboss.naming.remote.client.InitialContextFactory.

However this creates a Linkage error:

This error does not prevent doing remote lookups but looks ugly when starting the JMS bridge...

org.jboss.naming.remote.client.InitialContextFactory is trying to load org.jboss.naming.remote.client.ejb.RemoteNamingEjbClientContextSelector
in its static initialization block.
This class depends on org.jboss.ejb.client.ContextSelector which is in the org.jboss.ejb-client module.

I don't want to add a dependency from org.jboss.as.messaging to org.jboss.ejb-client if I can avoid it.

The org.jboss.naming.remote.client.InitialContextFactory defines a SETUP_EJB_CONTEXT property that I could set to false but this property is checked after trying to load the ejb-client class in the static block. afaict, loading the class only after checking the property would be enough to prevent having this error being displayed
