Ok, I finally got around fixing these.

Updated patch can be found at:

I now also tested it with JBoss. It seems that JBoss does utilise transaction 
interleaving by default, which we don't support. However, it can easily be 
turned off by setting the "track-connection-by-tx"-parameter in the datasource 
configuration. The configuration examples also set it for Oracle, MSSQL and 
Facets (what is it, BTW?), so it seems acceptable to me.
