Transient member inside no-arg constructor Class deserialize

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.ClassNoConstruct obj=new ClassNoConstruct(10);

2.kryo.writeClassAndObject(output, obj);
3.kryo.setInstantiatorStrategy(new SerializingInstantiatorStrategy());
kryo.readClassAndObject(input);

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The transient member x inside does not use default value("abc") as expected.

What version of the Kryo are you using?
2.18

Please provide any additional information below.

public class ClassNoConstruct implements Serializable{
    private transient Object x =new String("abc");
        private int i;
    public ClassNoConstruct(int i){
        this .i=i;
    }
}

This is the unfortunate part about using an extralinguistic object creation 
mechanism. It creates an object without running the constructor or initializer. 
Classes must be designed for use in this way. Better is to use the normal 
mechanism and write serializers when appropriate.
