Things got more interesting today when I tried to open RSSOwl, another program using Java (and Eclipse). This produced an entirely different error message

Since these are two very different errors and applications, I wouldn't think that they are related, but it seems too coincidental that two Java programs would develop problems simultaneously.
I have looked at my apt logs and there is no evidence of any updates to any of the installed JVMs or RSSOwl recently. There also haven't been any Minecraft updates recently. I would try purging the proprietary JVM and reinstalling it, but 1) the OpenJDK JVM displayed the same issue 2) uninstalling sun-java6-jre also wants to uninstall some mint-debian packages.
Any ideas about what could be causing this?
Edit: I forgot to mention that I have been using both of these programs without issue since I installed the 201012 spin of LMDE.
