ControllerLinkBuilder throws exception when target method has a generic parameter

Here is how I'm constructing a self link using the ControllerLinkBuilder:

add(linkTo(methodOn(PersonController.class).getResource(personId)).withSelfRel());

This works fine when PersonController getResource() is implemented like this:

public HttpEntity<T> getResource(@PathVariable UUID id)

...but throws an exception when the signature is:

public HttpEntity<T> getResource(@PathVariable S id)

where S is a type defined in the class definition like this:

public class DefaultBaseController<T extends ResourceSupport, S>

Is this intended behavior and there is another pattern I am supposed to be utilizing when referencing methods that have generic params like this? Or is this a legit bug? Here is the stack trace in case it is helpful:

Start at ControllerLinkBuilderFactory.linkTo and AnnotatedParametersParameterAccessor.BoundMethodParameter.asString, which appear in the stack trace. Reproduce the failure with a controller method whose path-variable parameter is a class-level generic, then add a regression test showing that ControllerLinkBuilder handles the parameter without throwing an exception.
