I have not checked the existence of fix in 4.1 branch explicitly, because JIRA does not list such commit. However, it seems that relevant changes have been pushed to 4.1 as well: https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-orm/commit/0c0f951715f46d22687b11acd6468e32c3964e2d. Please test the oldest 4.1.7 snapshot from https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public/org/hibernate/hibernate-envers/4.1.7-SNAPSHOT/ (for example hibernate-envers-4.1.7-20120901.122025-18.jar). Are you still getting errors?
