DelegateExecution.getBpmnModelElementInstance() throws ClassCastException for intermediate throwing events

The DelegateExecution.getBpmnModelElementInstance() throws a ClassCastException if it has originated from an intermediate throwing event. I have attached a test case which demonstrates the behaviour.

This is more of a problem if you have an application level ExecutionListener that doesn't know where the executions originate from.

public void execute(DelegateExecution execution) throws Exception {
execution.getBpmnModelElementInstance();
}
