DataProvider wrong handling of Method and Array arguments to test methods

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When using a Method and Array as argument to a test method, produced by a data 
provider method, the test does not run due to IllegalArgumentException.

seems very strange but does not allow me to use Helios...

here the test case which strangly fails:

import java.lang.reflect.Method;

import org.testng.annotations.DataProvider;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;


public class TestTestNG {

    @Test(dataProvider="m")
    public void testMethod( Method m , Object[] args ) {

    }

    @DataProvider(name="m")
    public Object[][] getM() {
        Method m = getMethod();
        return new Object[][] {
            { m , new Object[] { "" } }
        };
    }

    private Method getMethod() {
        try {
            return Object.class.getMethod("toString");
        } catch (SecurityException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return null;
    }

}

Use @NoInjection:

@Test(dataProvider="m")
    public void testMethod(@NoInjection Method m , Object[] args ) {
