ClassCastException while serializing byte[] in Sling Job with JCR Resource Resolver

When trying to serialize a byte[] in Sling Job properties Map I noticed that an error occurs when using the JCR Resource Resolver caused by a ClassCastException in JcrPropertyMapCacheEntry since it tries to cast a byte to Object. This therefore doesn't happen when serializing Byte[].
This also happens when trying to serialize long/int/...[] due to the same cast.
Here's the stacktrace:
could not add an item to the queue java.lang.ClassCastException: [B cannot be cast to [Ljava.lang.Object;

at org.apache.sling.event.impl.jobs.JobManagerImpl.addJob(JobManagerImpl.java:794)

Here's the code snippet that triggers the error:
Map<String, Object> properties = new HashMap<String, Object>();
properties.put("BIN","a string".getBytes());
Job job = jobManager.addJob("name", "id", properties);

See testcase below to reproduce the problem on the JCR Resource Resolver:
package org.apache.sling.jcr.resource.internal.helper;
import org.junit.Test;
public class JcrPropertyMapCacheEntryTest {
@Test
public void testByteArray() throws Exception

{ Byte[] ba = new Byte[0]; new JcrPropertyMapCacheEntry(ba, null); // ok byte[] ba2 = new byte[0]; new JcrPropertyMapCacheEntry(ba2, null); // fail }

@Test
public void testLongArray() throws Exception

{ Long[] ba = new Long[0]; new JcrPropertyMapCacheEntry(ba, null); // ok long[] ba2 = new long[0]; new JcrPropertyMapCacheEntry(ba2, null); // fail }

}
