module java.base does not "opens java.lang" to unnamed module

SInce upgrading to Java 11,  throwing a new IllegalArgumentException in an RPC server-side implementation gives  InaccessibleObjectException. It can be stopped by using a VM argument --add-opens, but apparently this is not recommended.
Can anyone  clarify ?
