> calling isInterrupted() actually clears the interrupted bit.

Thats incorrect. Calling Thread#interrupted[0] clears the interrupt status and returns true if the current thread was interrupted. Thread#isInterrupted()[1] only returns the value of the interrupt status on the thread receiving the method call. The interrupt status is unaffected by that method call.
