Hi Aaron, I've been able to reproduce your issue and your analysis is correct.
The Endpoint returned by the context component has its reference to its original black-box Camel context overwritten when the 'parent' context adds it to its list of service. There is a clear design issue not only from the address space but for the lifecycle of the endpoint as well. You can create a JIRA ticket and I'll review / test your patch.
