The question really is about the use cases. Are connections supposed to be used concurrently anyway?
I think they are usually used by a single thread at a time.

The Envers's use case is to create another session where some data can be read, not influencing what the original session held.

Although, if something is plain wrong, I would fix it as fast as possible :). Treat it as a bug, I suppose SPIs can have bugs as well ;)
