Passing method references to HTMLElement.removeEventHandler

I think I found a little bug in the java 8 support in GWT. Or at least, it does not work as I expected it would.
I am using Elemental2 and I am trying to remove an EventListener from a HTMLElement.

The listener was previously installed like this:

element.addEventListener("click", this::handleClick)

when I remove the listener, I also use the same method reference on the same object.
element.removeEventListener("click", this::handleClick)

but in reality the click handler is not removed.

I was expecting that this method reference would always yield the same JS object, but it does not seem that way.
Is that intentional or a bug or am I missing something ?
