It all boils down to the true definition of "invocation".

Is it the moment when the instruction pointer hits the bytecode for 
invokestatic and starts doing it, or is it just before it hits the
first instruction of the callee (iff existing)?

JVM7-behaviour implies the latter. I admit having difficulties myself
to actually read it unambiguously from JLS §12.4.1.  Probably this
is defined elsewhere.

Anyway, between these two moments, there's plenty time for the JVM 
to load the class, check availability of the method, and only if ok
then initialize the class and proceed with the callee's code, 
otherwise skip initialization and just throw some exception. 
And for a certain definition of "invocation", initialization
would still always precede it.
