typeof operator on Folder returns error

In a google apps script function, I have a Folder parameter. So, this statement

Logger.log(typeof folder);

logs 'undefined' when the parameter is not supplied, which is right. But when a folder is supplied, I get this error:

Invalid JavaScript value of type $Proxy686. (line 15)

Not able to diagnose why. Need some help. Thanks.

Sanjay

Update: Here is the code reproducing the issue:

function typeOfTest() {

  var folders = DocsList.getAllFolders();
  for (var i = 0; i < folders.length; i++)
    Logger.log(typeof folders[i]);

};

In fact. I have the same behavior. I don't know either it is a bug or a feature. A possible workaround is to use the Folder's toString() function. Something like

function typeOfTest() {

  var folders = DocsList.getAllFolders();
  for (var i = 0; i < folders.length; i++)
    Logger.log(folders[i].toString());

};
