The frysk.value constructor (Type type, String textFIXME)  
->calls (new Location(type.getSize())  
  ->calls new ArrayByteBuffer(capacity) 
    which will assume a big endian buffer

One possibility is to have Value do:
abb = new ArrayByteBuffer (..);
abb.order(type.endian); 
Location(abb)

Yes,

Every time I tried to get frysk.value.Format to use the type's 
byte-order I'd get test-suite failures caused by another case of this.  
The underling problem is that type code used to read/write byte-order 
dependent values wasn't explicitly specifying the type's required 
byte-order.

Hopefully the last of these get flushed out with the next few commits.
