List converted from an Enum array in Ivy Script doesn't work correctly

Today I found something looks like a bug in Ivy Script.

In Ivy Script, I want to have a List of all the elements of an enum, say WorkflowPriority, I simply call WorkflowPriority.values(). However, the instance of List returned by the call doesn't work correctly, especially with operation contains and remove.

Here are the tests that I made to check:

(This is an Ivy Script snippet)

import org.junit.Assert;
import com.genzerhawherk.bugs.Lists;
import ch.ivyteam.ivy.workflow.WorkflowPriority;

// Below are all failed tests
Assert.assertTrue(WorkflowPriority.values().contains(WorkflowPriority.HIGH));

List<WorkflowPriority> withGenerics = WorkflowPriority.values();
Assert.assertTrue(withGenerics.contains(WorkflowPriority.HIGH));

List fromEnums = Lists.fromEnums(WorkflowPriority.class);
Assert.assertTrue(fromEnums.contains(WorkflowPriority.HIGH));

List fromEnumVarargs = Lists.enumVarArgs(WorkflowPriority.HIGH, WorkflowPriority.EXCEPTION);
Assert.assertTrue(fromEnumVarargs.contains(WorkflowPriority.HIGH));

// Below are all passed tests
List listComprehensive = [WorkflowPriority.HIGH];
Assert.assertTrue(listComprehensive.contains(WorkflowPriority.HIGH));

List newPriorities = new List().addAll(WorkflowPriority.values());
Assert.assertTrue(newPriorities.contains(WorkflowPriority.HIGH));

List fromList = Lists.toArray([WorkflowPriority.HIGH]);
Assert.assertTrue(fromList.contains(WorkflowPriority.HIGH));

List fromVarArgs = Lists.normalVarArgs(WorkflowPriority.HIGH);
Assert.assertTrue(fromVarArgs.contains(WorkflowPriority.HIGH));

List<WorkflowPriority> manuallyConstructed = new List<WorkflowPriority>();
manuallyConstructed.add(WorkflowPriority.HIGH);
Assert.assertTrue(manuallyConstructed.contains(WorkflowPriority.HIGH));

The bug particularly relates to converting <T extends Enum<T>> T[] into a List<T>

Below is the class Lists I use in the test

public class Lists {

    public static Object[] toArray(Collection<?> collection) {
        return collection.toArray();
    }

    @SafeVarargs
    public static <T> T[] normalVarArgs(T...elements) {
        return Arrays.copyOf(elements, elements.length);
    }

    public static <T extends Enum<T>> T[] fromEnums(Class<T> enums) {
        return enums.getEnumConstants();
    }

    @SafeVarargs
    public static <T extends Enum<T>> T[] enumVarArgs(T...enums) {
        return enums;
    }
}
