Seems like I'm hitting https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=323471, which is closed as INVALID.  The (apparently related) forum discussion is here: http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=rview&goto=554630

In my case, what's interesting is that the setConstituent() call is happening when the AlternateAddressRecordEntity is detached.  I'm not sure why change tracking would be on here if I've detached the entity?  Shouldn't detach() turn off change tracking?

I'll obviously see if I can put a test case together, but it's going to take a while.

Best,

Kaurd
