Why is ValueType.GetHashCode() implemented like it is?

From ValueType.cs

**Action: Our algorithm for returning the hashcode is a little bit complex. We look 
**        for the first non-static field and get it's hashcode.  If the type has no 
**        non-static fields, we return the hashcode of the type. We can't take the
**        hashcode of a static member because if that member is of the same type as 
**        the original type, we'll end up in an infinite loop.

I got bitten by this today when I was using a KeyValuePair as a key in a Dictionary (it stored xml attribute name (enum) and it's value (string)), and expected for it to have it's hashcode computed based on all its fields, but according to implementation it only considered the Key part.

Example (c/p from Linqpad):

void Main()
{
    var kvp1 = new KeyValuePair<string, string>("foo", "bar");
    var kvp2 = new KeyValuePair<string, string>("foo", "baz");

    // true
    (kvp1.GetHashCode() == kvp2.GetHashCode()).Dump();
}

The first non-static field I guess means the first field in declaratin order, which could also cause trouble when changing variable order in source for whatever reason, and believing it doesn't change the code semantically.
