As you note, the EJB spec makes an explicit note that instances may be
reused.
It does not make any explicit notes that initial values are to be reset.
Hence, implicitly you as a bean developer knows that you will have to
handle this in ejbCreate in order to make portable beans. Some
EJB-servers may be forgiving and will reset these values, or will create
a new instance each time, but some may not.
There is no bug in the spec, and there is no bug in the EJB-server you
are using. The only bug here is that you are not taking care of the bean
contract properly by not setting all CMP fields upon create.
