    Found the issue.
    AssignmentTransaction has a one-to-many relationship named
    "studentResponses". It also had a private variable:
    private List studentResponses. In certain situations (described
    momentarily), it appears that the field accessor class is "seeing" the
    private variable instead of the relationship. When I changed the name of
    the private variable, the problem disappeared. I was also able to
    duplicate the issue in an entirely unrelated (and much simpler) data
    map. This seems like a bug to me; seems like FieldAccessor shouldn't be
    able to grab/use my private variables. :) If you want, I can open up a
    jira issue and attach a really simple map and bit of code that will
    illustrate the issue.

    In any event, here is the situation where the invalid access occurs:
    X has a to-many relationship to Y. Z also has a to-many relationship to Y.
    Y has a to-many relationship named k, and also has a private List k;
    declaration.
    xinstance, zinstance , and yinstance are instances of X, Z and Y,
    respectively, and xinstance and zinstance share a yinstance.
    X loads its list of Y via xinstance.getY(). xinstance does some
    processing that results in
    k's initialization in the shared yinstance. zinstance now does
    zinstance.getY() and attempts to perform some operation on the list
    (size(), get(0), iterator(), etc... something that forces cayenne to
    fault the toManyList). While processing the shared yinstance, cayenne
    will choke with a ClassCastException because it will see the private
    variable k (now initialized, eg, to an ArrayList) rather than the
    relationship with the same name.

    Apologies if the explanation is a bit opaque... again... I'll work up a
    trivial data map + code example that triggers the error.
