Unable to load lib/ext classes since 2.3

Since upgrading to surefire 2.3 I am unable to locate any classes in my jre lib/ext directory. This means that test cases that use JDBC no longer work.

Attached is an example project the loads com.sun.crypto.provider.AESCipher that is normally in the sunjce_provider.jar in lib/ext. If I uncomment the pom line that sets surefure version to 2.2 the project compiles, with 2.3 I get a ClassNotFoundException.
