This is a pretty significant bug in HQL which can easily cause hidden problems and the only workaround is to compare each ID column manually in the HQL (which I think we can all agree is fairly ugly compared to the elegance of HQL).

Is there any particular reason this fix did not make it into 4.3.7 or 4.3.8 (as the pull request existed before those tags)? If so, is there anything that can be done to ensure it makes it into the next tag?
