Thanks for the detailed response.

I can confirm that changing hibernate.globally_quoted_identifiers to false fixes the problem for us too. We had this turned on because we have some table names that are case-sensitively camel-cased (for many-to-many tables), however it appears that manually quoting those individual tables e.g. `applePear` in the @Table annotation allows us to work with global quoting turned off.

If I have some spare time in the near future I'll see if I can contribute a fix for this.
