I really do not understand what you think is buggy or unexpected here. The id attribute of @Begin should *always* be contain a value binding that uniquely identifies the conversation. That's the whole point. If two conversations have the same id, they are the same conversation! I also don't understand why you think that calling end() should result in a call to some @End method. Perhaps you are just trying to get "too complicated" here? Why not start out trying to understand conversations w/o all these exotic features, and once you've got that down, worry about the "extra" stuff like explicit conversation ids.
