assertEquals(Date, Date) always fails

Question

Just want to make sure this isn't just my code.

Using FlexUnit 0.9, on Flex 3.

I have the following assertion in my TestCase:
assertEquals("Date values should match", date, currentBasic.date);

Which returns the error:
Date values should match - expected: but was:

Which as you can see, is the same value.

I have to change this to:
assertEquals("Date values should match", date.toString(), currentBasic.date.toString());

for the assertion to pass.

Is this expected behaviour or a bug in FlexUnit?

Looking through the source code FlexUnit doesn't have special handling
for Date's and Date's don't compare with == so I'd say it's a bug. Log
the issue at: https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FXU
