I was unable to reproduce this.

Yes, this particular test fails, but the actual error is:
[tdaitx][ITW-APPLET][ERROR_ALL][Wed Nov 09 17:32:09 UTC
2016][net.sourceforge.jnlp.runtime.JNLPClassLoader.checkForMain(JNLPClassLoader.java:835)]
NETX Thread# 673fcb2c, name Applet: JAR
https://www.java.com/en/download/JavaDetection.jar not found.
Continuing.

or from the terminal console:
java.io.FileNotFoundException:
https://www.java.com/en/download/JavaDetection.jar

And indeed that jar file is not available at that location, so no
wonder that applet won't work.

I could get other applets to work on Jessie with IceWeasel, eg:
