A small possibility is that you are being bitten by the DWIM'ly nature
of TransientObjects conflict resolution where the last modified state
is chosen over the others. If you think this is biting you then try
commenting out _p_resolveConflict of TransientObject. That's bound to
increase the rate of conflict errors but should provide you with a
consistent session state. Perhaps useful as a debugging step.
