NullPointerException while mockStatic if preceding whenNew

I have following test class:

@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PrepareForTest({BuildCcHeaderProcess.class, IOUtils.class})
public class MyTest {
...
@Before
    public void setUp() throws Exception {  
          ...
          whenNew(StringWriter.class).withNoArguments().thenReturn(stringWriterMock);
          PowerMockito.mockStatic(IOUtils.class); //exception throws here
          ....
     }
     ....
}

When I invoke the test I see following result:

What do I wrong?

If to remove following row:

whenNew(StringWriter.class).withNoArguments().thenReturn(stringWriterMock);

code becomes working...

What the magic?
