@JsonAnySetter with @JsonUnwrapped: deserialization fails with arrays

My application makes heavy use of the @JsonAnySetter/Getter annotations which is currently throwing an exception when deserializing an JSON array of strings as a property value:

Can not deserialize instance of java.lang.Object out of END_ARRAY token at [Source: org.apache.cxf.transport.http.AbstractHTTPDestination$1@7a5d231e; line: 22, column: 5] (through reference chain: com.mycorp.core.web.rest.dto.ItemDTO["ZoomLinks"])

Here is the Java code:

public void addProperty(String key, Object value) {
if (props == null)
{ props = new HashMap<String, Object>(); }
props.put(key, value);
}
@JsonAnyGetter
public Map<String, Object> getProperties()
{ return props; }

and here is some sample JSON that will fail:

{ "_type" : "IST",
 "_spacename" : "Foo Models",
 "_name" : "BLAH-New",
 "_description" : "namespace.name: X THIN FIR.DR-WD12-New",
 "ZoomLinks": [ "foofoofoofoo", "barbarbarbar" ] }

@cowtowncoder It seems JsonAnySetter and JsonUnwrapped can work together in 2.9.0-SNAPSHOT but not in 2.8.6. I have added one test case here: https://github.com/borball/jackson-test/blob/master/src/test/java/com/fasterxml/jackson/test/JacksonTest.java#L15-L19 With 2.9.0-SNAPSHOT I can successfully get bean object refundQuery but with 2.8.6, it is null.

I think that the way things are implemented duplicates would always have occurred.

Later issue #1811 cover the problem: I hope this can be resolved in 3.0.
