No, the id pool is shared per VM. I am fairly certain the
synchronization within single VM works ok though.

No it doesn't. In fact I believe Cayenne may be to blame here, not
MySQL (or maybe both, if locking turns out to be broken :-)). A few
weeks ago I was investigating a possibility of pk range clashes due
to runtime exceptions in PK generator and/or user transaction that
called the generator. I could not reproduce it though, but what
Christian is seeing looks very much like it.
Let me try it again with JMeter.
