Using excludeFieldsWithoutExposeAnnotation can write empty objects

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Build a Gson object using GsonBuilder.excludeFieldsWithoutExposeAnnotation()
2. Annotate a class variable with @Expose
3. Write an instance of the class with the variable that was exposed null

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected to see nothing written for that object, since it should be
empty, instead, I see an empty object.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.1.1

Please provide any additional information below.
I have attached a unit test that demonstrates this issue.

As per the conclusion in the discussion thread, we will not be supporting this
