At a guess, <field-map> is converting the value to a String, then
taking that and converting it back to the correct object, based on the
entity model definition.  It shouldn't do this conversion at all.

Upon looking at entity/finder/*, I see lots of instances of FSE; this
means there is the same problem as I discovered previously, you can't
fetch anything but strings using FSE.

I have a feature implemented to fix that, but it's not quite correct,
as it doesn't handle nulls very well(might be the reponsibility of the
calling location to auto-convert null to "").
