Ticket may be closed - I ran the test case with the following Hibernate versions:

• 3.6.10.Final - FAIL
• 4.1.7.Final - FAIL
• 4.1.8.Final - SUCCESS
• 4.1.12.Final - SUCCESS
• 4.2.12.Final - SUCCESS
• 4.3.5.Final - SUCCESS

Seems this bug was fixed with 4.1.8.Final - so please close as fixed with fix version 4.1.8.Final!
