Sergey,

I'm unsure if that is something that can be fixed at DOSGi level. I just made a 
demo project and attached it to this mail. I will also send it to the Apache 
Felix guys who hopefully can inspect the issue (if they care) :D because 
felix's the framework that doesn't work.

Regards,
Daniel
