Thanks for the advice. I left this for a few hours then went back and 
revisited it, and I think I now have what I wanted working with the TM 
mixin class. I may check out __bobo_before__ and __bobo_after__ 
as well though for comparison.

Basically the answer I came up with to my own question is as follows:

Shared.DC.ZRDB.TM is basically incompatible with the persistence 
mechanism, however if you have a non-persistent class it does what 
I expected. My code was already split between a front-end and a 
back-end class where the front-end class is persistent, and the back-
end class handles the actual work. The back-end class can safely 
mixin both TM, and Sync.Synchronized (which is also incompatible 
with persistence) and everything works as I expected.
