Prototype scoped Spring bean incorrectly created at context creation time after upgrade to 4.1.4.RELEASE - spring

Question

I have a prototype scoped bean defined in my test Configuration that needs to be created using the ApplicationContext (applicationContext.getBean("my-failing-prototype-bean", myStringParam) because it has a String parameter that needs to be passed.
When I was on Spring 4.0.4 this worked just fine when I ran my tests. The context is loaded when I ran a test class and the prototype scoped bean was not created until it was needed. Now, the process of loading the context attempts to create an instance of my bean which fails because there is no suitable bean that matches the String parameter I need to manually pass to the bean's factory method.
After stepping through the context creation process, it appears that in an attempt to autowire a different bean, Spring is calling DefaultListableBeanFactory.getBeanNamesForType() which calls AbstraceAutowireCapableBeanFactory.getNonSingletonFactoryBeanForTypeCheck() which then calls AbstraceAutowireCapableBeanFactory.createBeanInstance() because AbstraceAutowireCapableBeanFactory.resolveBeforeInstantiation() returns null.
EDIT: After distilling my project down to an sample project that produces the issue, I found it only occurs when the bean declared in my test Spring config implements either FactoryBean, BeanFactoryAware, or BeanClassLoaderAware. It also definitely only occurs when there is another bean injected into the test Spring config.
Thank you for your help and please let me know if there are any more details you would like!

As far as i know, having a bean as prototype does not stop it from being eagerly initialized. Try adding a #Lazy annotation to your bean.
#Bean(name = {"my-failing-prototype-bean"})
#Scope(BeanDefinition.SCOPE_PROTOTYPE)
#Profile("test")
#Lazy
public JndiObjectFactoryBean myFailingPrototypeBean(final String jndiName) {
JndiObjectFactoryBean jof = new JndiObjectFactoryBean();
JndiTemplate testJndiTemplate = new JndiTemplate();
jof.setResourceRef(true);
jof.setJndiTemplate(testJndiTemplate);
jof.setJndiName(jndiNameForQueue);
return jof;
}
