I actually think this is a bug. If the name of the class is changing 
it means that caching of generated classes is not working correctly
--it is probably generating a new class per proxy. This will obviously 
slow down proxy creation tremendously and eventually cause
OutOfMemoryExceptions. The typical culprit is when you use a 
custom CallbackFilter that does not implement equals/hashCode. I
don't have time right now but I'll take a look soon.

Happy Easter
