This is a bug, the column definition is being overridden by a type set in
the MySQL dictionary. I went ahead and opened a JIRA on your behalf :
OPENJPA-1870 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-1870>, and
posted to stack overflow..
FWIW it should be fairly straight forward to fix.

P.S., I'm happy to make you the originator of the JIRA if you have an
account.
