when trying to mock equals - the exception is confusing

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. mock an equals method

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected (provided mockito still cannot mock equals) is an exception
'cannot mock equals and hashcode methods exception', and it is 
org.mockito.exceptions.misusing.InvalidUseOfMatchersException: 
Misplaced argument matcher detected!
Somewhere before this line you probably misused Mockito argument matchers.

which is the same as with other matcher problems....

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
mockito-all-1.7.jar, Vista

Please provide any additional information below.

In trunk I changed exception messages to mention equals() & hashcode() along 
other
unmockable methods.

I'm creating a separate feature request to make verify() detect equals() & 
hashcode()
- unfortunately we cannot have it for when()
