JSONSerializer can't deserialize to BigDecimal

JSONSerializer would throw an IllegalArgumentException "Unable to coerce double to BigDecimal" when the object class contains at least one BigDecimal field.
Exception is traced to BeanAdapter.java , line 916, where coerce(Object, Class) has no else-if for BigDecimal class.
