There's seems to be no discrepancy (at least, you have not shown it), but to answer the question about why the default 
equals operation is an identity test:

   - all objects should be equal to themselves (there is only one that isn't, and it's weird)

   - equality tests should not, as a general rule, raise exceptions -- they should return True or False
