I had the same problem using CR1 with a SFSB where I was injecting FacesMessages using @In(create=true) private FacesMessages facesMessages. (It didn't matter whether I used the transient keyword or not.) When I removed the @In injection statement and instantiated FacesMessages in the method using FacesMessages.instance() the problem disappeared. With the nightly build of November 29th the problem seems to have disappeared an I can inject FacesMessages with no problem. I had no luck trying to solve the problem with @CashConfig.
