Powermock 2.x verifyStatic(System.class) is throwing NotAMockException

Question

Mocking System class with Powermock 2.x is failing on verifying calls. The same test passes successfully using Powermock 1.x version.

Class:

public class SysConfigurer {
    public void setConfig(String key, String value){
        System.setProperty(key, value);
    }
}

Test:

@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PrepareForTest(Validator.class)
@PowerMockIgnore("javax.management.*")
public class SysConfigurerTest {
    @Test
    public void testSystemConfig() {
        mockStatic(System.class);
        PowerMockito.when(System.setProperty("foo", "bar")).thenReturn("fab");
        assertThat(new SysConfigurer().set("foo", "bar"), is("fab"));
        verifyStatic(System.class);
        System.setProperty("foo", "bar");
    }
}
