The current implementation delegates the comparison of two URI to the FileStore:
	public static boolean equals(URI one, URI two) {
		try {
			return EFS.getStore(one).equals(EFS.getStore(two));
		} catch (CoreException e) {
			// fall back to default equality test
			return one.equals(two);
		}
	}
However, this only works if the FileStore has a custom implementation of equals(), otherwise the Object.equals() will be called:
    public boolean equals(Object obj) {
	return (this == obj);
    }

This will return false even if the two URI are equal!
It seems that there are specific reasons for URIUtil.equals() to delegate its work to FileStore, so FileStore be specified that an equal() method must be implemented.
