Select object with byte[] is broken in Oracle.... Failing unit test supplied

As of Commit 584765e3 from pull request #169 this functionality appears to be broken at line 264 OrmLiteDialectProviderBase.cs

        public virtual object ConvertDbValue(object value, Type type)
        {
            if (value == null || value.GetType() == typeof(DBNull)) return null;

            if (value.GetType() == type)
            {
                if (type == typeof(byte[]))
                    return TypeSerializer.DeserializeFromStream<byte[]>(new MemoryStream((byte[])value));

I would fix myself but I am not sure of the original intent of this fix so am a little wary of ammending this.

Some of my thoughts are:

if the target type is also byte, skip over this step?
create an oracle specific workaround (seems overkill since all that is required is to return the byte array as is)
