UnfinishedStubbingException with JDK 7 and SortedSets

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. With JDK 6 it was possible to create a TreeSet of mocked elements inline 
within the 'thenReturn' call e.g. such a test was possible:

    interface MySortedDateSet {
        SortedSet<Date> getDates();
    }

    @Test
    public void testSortedSet() {
        final Date firstDate = mock(Date.class);
        final Date secondDate = mock(Date.class);

        final MySortedDateSet dateSet = mock(MySortedDateSet.class);

        when(dateSet.getDates()).thenReturn(new TreeSet<>(Arrays.asList(firstDate, secondDate)));
    }

2. With JDK 7 the API of the TreeSet has been changed (see 'Synopsis: Inserting 
an Invalid Element into a TreeMap Throws an NPE' in 
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/compatibility-417013.html)

3. Now with JDK 7 the test above fails with an 'UnfinishedStubbingException'. 
Details:

org.mockito.exceptions.misusing.UnfinishedStubbingException: 
Unfinished stubbing detected here:
-> at mypackage.TreeSetTest.testSortedSet(TreeSetTest.java:39)

E.g. thenReturn() may be missing.
Examples of correct stubbing:
    when(mock.isOk()).thenReturn(true);
    when(mock.isOk()).thenThrow(exception);
    doThrow(exception).when(mock).someVoidMethod();
Hints:
 1. missing thenReturn()
 2. you are trying to stub a final method, you naughty developer!

    ...

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

    Since the stubbing has been finsihed and there is no inline mock created within the 'thenReturn' call, the UnfinishedStubbingException shouldn't be thrown. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
    jdk1.7.0_45

Please provide any additional information below.

    The test will succeed if the TreeSet will be created outside the 'thenReturn' call:

    interface MySortedDateSet {
        SortedSet<Date> getDates();
    }

    @Test
    public void testSortedSet() {
        final Date firstDate = mock(Date.class);
        final Date secondDate = mock(Date.class);

        final MySortedDateSet dateSet = mock(MySortedDateSet.class);

        final TreeSet<Date> dateTreeSet = new TreeSet<>(Arrays.asList(firstDate, secondDate));
        when(dateSet.getDates()).thenReturn(dateTreeSet);
    }
