Invalid query when property is of type Class<?>

NOTE: If you have a question rather than a bug report or feature request,
please post at http://groups.google.com/group/java-generic-dao .

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Define a POJO with a Class<?> targetClass attribute
2. Run a search: return search(new Search().addFilterEqual("targetClass", 
targetClass));

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

The query generated is:
  select _it from com.joss.common.domain.AttributeDefinition _it where _it.targetClass = com.joss.common.domain.LegalEntity

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.5.1 / Mac OS X / JPA

Please provide any additional information below.
Commenting lines 765-767 in BaseSearchProcessor seems to fix the issue:

    protected String param(SearchContext ctx, Object value) {
        //if (value instanceof Class) {
        //  return ((Class<?>) value).getName();
        //}
