Thanks, Emmanuel. I'll ponder that tonight. And I'll try to convince
myself that being consistent with saveOrUpdate is a good thing for
merge, but I'm not hopeful. ;)
Cheers,
Josh.

No I mean saveOrUpdate
Think about how saveOrUpdate works in your case, and you will see that
merge is very consistent.

Emmanuel, do you mean saveOrUpdateCopy? Since saveOrUpdate doesn't do
any copying of the values onto another instance.
By the way, the "dirtying" of the non-updatable field I described also
holds for collections. This means that DefaultMergeEventListener does
a source.load(), gets a fully valid object with proxied collections
(which would later be lazy-loadable with the current values), copies
_invalid_ values on top of the clean proxied collection, and sends
that back to the user.
Seems counter-productive.
Thanks,
Josh.
