Hi Emily,

yes, the spec is clear and for good reasons. This was already discussed

in EG and weld community - see for example WELD-695 [1]. And the 
consensus is: "it does not make sense to delegate equals/hashcode
to 
bean instances for client proxies".

One of the problems is that client proxies may be shared between 
multiple injection points (and in Weld they are).

Also in Weld a client proxy is equal to a client proxy for the same bean.

Anyway, it seems it doesn't work on OWB either - see also OWB-458 [2].
