Custom Deserializers fail if the deserializer context is used on the source JsonElement

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Gson gets caught in infinite recursion if a client attempts to convert a
JSON string into a Java object of type Foo with the following
JsonDeserializer registered:

public static class FooTypeAdapter implements JsonDeserializer<Foo> {
  public Foo deserialize(JsonElement json, Type typeOfT,
JsonDeserializationContext context)
      throws JsonParseException {
    Foo fooObj = context.deserialize(json, typeOfT);
    fooObj.setExtraField("ThisIsExtra");
    return fooObj;
  }
}
