The new ProxyCallbackFilter class still uses AopProxyUtils.equalsInProxy in
its equals method. equalsInProxy uses equality of the AdvisedSupport
TargetSource. Depending on the implementation of TargetSource being used, I
think this means it *is* possible for your target bean's equals method to
affect CGLIB caching behavior. I'm not qualified to say whether this is
desirable or not.
