If a concrete entity type is used - issue is also not reproducable. } While retrieving a LazyAbstractEntityReference would previously return an uninitialized lazy property ( Hibernate.isInitialized(LazyAbstractEntityReference.entity) == false , now it has it initialized. A test case reproducing the issue will be submitted soon.
