This issue is almost 8 years old now, and still present in the latest version of Hibernate (4.3.6). There is no good work around, except for disabling collection caching entirely. This bug can cause serious errors in applications.
HHH-9297
provides a good testcase. Perhaps someone can take a look at this? I'm unable to edit the affected versions, but all versions from 3.2 to 4.3 should be added.
