With Scala 2.8.0 and 2.8.1 the comparison of two nodes having some MetaData yields a strange result.

scala> ==
res4: Boolean = false
// expected result

scala> ==
res5: Boolean = true
// expected result

scala> ==
res6: Boolean = true
// expected result

scala> ==
res7: Boolean = true
// should be false

The last comparison is false in Scala 2.7.7, which is what I would expect intuitively. Is this a bug?

It looks like #3886.
