neo4j 2.0 findNodesByLabelAndProperty not working - neo4j

Question

I'm currently trying the Neo4j 2.0.0 M3 and see some strange behaviour. In my unit tests, everything works as expected (using an newImpermanentDatabase) but in the real thing, I do not get results from the graphDatabaseService.findNodesByLabelAndProperty.
Here is the code in question:
ResourceIterator<Node> iterator = graphDB
.findNodesByLabelAndProperty(Labels.User, "EMAIL_ADDRESS", emailAddress)
.iterator();
try {
if (iterator.hasNext()) { // => returns false**
return iterator.next();
}
} finally {
iterator.close();
}
return null;
This returns no results. However, when running the following code, I see my node is there (The MATCH!!!!!!!!! is printed) and I also have an index setup via the schema (although that if I read the API, this seems not necessary but is important for performance):
ResourceIterator<Node> iterator1 = GlobalGraphOperations.at(graphDB).getAllNodesWithLabel(Labels.User).iterator();
while (iterator1.hasNext()) {
Node result = iterator1.next();
UserDao.printoutNode(emailAddress, result);
}
And UserDao.printoutNode
public static void printoutNode(String emailAddress, Node next) {
System.out.print(next);
ResourceIterator<Label> iterator1 = next.getLabels().iterator();
System.out.print("(");
while (iterator1.hasNext()) {
System.out.print(iterator1.next().name());
}
System.out.print("): ");
for(String key : next.getPropertyKeys()) {
System.out.print(key + ": " + next.getProperty(key).toString() + "; ");
if(emailAddress.equals( next.getProperty(key).toString())) {
System.out.print("MATCH!!!!!!!!!");
}
}
System.out.println();
}
I already debugged through the code and what I already found out is that I pass via the InternalAbstractGraphDatabase.map2Nodes to a DelegatingIndexProxy.getDelegate and end up in IndexReader.Empty class which returns the IteratorUtil.EMPTY_ITERATOR thus getting false for iterator.hasNext()
Any idea's what I am doing wrong?

Found it:
I only included neo4j-kernel:2.0.0-M03 in the classpath. The moment I added neo4j-cypher:2.0.0-M03 all was working well.
Hope this answer helps save some time for other users.
#Neo4j: would be nice if an exception would be thrown instead of just returning nothing.
#Ricardo: I wanted to but I was not allowed yet as my reputation wasn't good enough as a new SO user.
