Powermock ignores the answer in the @Mock annotation

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Write a test, where a field is annotated with @Mock(answer = 
Answers.CALLS_REAL_METHODS)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
In Mockito, this works perfectly. It simply calls the real methods of the mock. 
In PowerMock, this does nothing. It's simply a mock. You have to mock the 
methods to get any result.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
PowerMockito 1.5.4
Mockito 1.9.5

Mac OS X 10.9.2

Please provide any additional information below.

Workaround for this problem: let's say that I have this mock present in my 
test: 

@Mock(answer = Answers.CALLS_REAL_METHODS) private TimestampToStringConverter 
timestampToStringConverter;

In order to have it actually call the real methods of the mock, I have to do 
this in my setup method: 

when(timestampToStringConverter.convert(any(Timestamp.class))).thenCallRealMetho
d();

It is infuriating, however, because you have to actually do this for EVERY 
method you want to use in your test. If you have a class which has 8 methods, 
which you all use, you're doing this for every single one of them. It leads to 
an ugly blob of code.
