I also looked at other places with similar pattern of few lines of
common code to construct error messages. The following was occurred too
often not to avoid temptations to move it to a separated function:

NativeGlobal.constructError(
Context.getContext(), "TypeError",
ScriptRuntime.getMessage1("msg.default.value", arg),
this)

It can be replaced by
NativeGlobal.typeError1("msg.default.value", arg, this)

There are other similar usages but they are not to frequent to bother
with code reduction because even the above replacement saves just 200
bytes in uncompressed jars (it is expensive to introduce new methods in
Java).

In any case, if you think it makes any sense, patches are attached. They
are made via
diff -cbB javascript.orig javascript > patch_context
diff -bB javascript.orig javascript > patch_std
from org/mozilla directory.
