( https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-orm/pull/6018/commits/69ea77de8c43... ) I agree that with your solution this should not happen, but for consistency with BeanImpl there should also be a null check in NamedBeanImpl. Or we can remove both null checks if it can never happen anymore, but I prefer there is one.
