    I see. In 1.2 Cayenne supports field-based persistence (albeit only
    on the remote client at the moment). As we move forward, this may
    become the default way to store properties (especially in light of
    JPA spec compliance). So the runtime has to work with both DataObject
    and POJO classes. The problem seems to be in the attempt to combine
    both approaches for the same entity class. Probably we shouldn't be
    mixing them when compiling ClassDescriptors.

    I'd appreciate a bug report - with a reproducible test case, I'll
    take another look at how the ClassDescriptors are implemented.
