BeanUtils.clone() throwing NPE

I have a Struts application in which I have a need to clone a DynaBean. I'm
using BeanUtils.clone() and it is throwing an NPE (NullPointerException).
Further investigation into the stack trace reveals this is happening in
PropertyUtils.setSimpleProperty(). Any idea why this would happen? I think
it is reasonable to assume that if I pass in a non-null object, then there
should be no problem getting a clone of that object. The API doesn't state
anything about NPE being thrown.
