Mapping a null byte[] to a null-nested byte[] causes a NullPointerException

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. unit test attached

    mFactory.classMap(A.class, B2.class)
        .field("property", "nested.property")
        .register();
where source property is a null byte[], and "nested" is null

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Excepted result would be nesting object created and null set in nested property
What I see instead is a NPE during mapping

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
v1.4.5, Win 7/64

Please provide any additional information below.

Workaround found: provide a byte[]-to-byte[] converter (uncomment related lines 
in test code to make it succeed)
May somehow be related to issue 162, although is this case there is no filter
