Hmmm.... here I might possibly see a way to prevent the problem in future: 
correct me please if I am wrong, but I understand permanentGlobalID causes this 
generation (and commit), right?

Well then, what if I, at the moment any EO gets inserted into an EC, 
immediatelly called permanentGlobalID for it?

Unless I am overlooking something, it should get, commit and assign a safe PK 
for the EO. Later, when the EO gets saved, no PK clash would be possible.

About the only drawback I can see is that when generating lots of new EOs, 
there would be many unnecessary roundtrips to the DB and it would be sloow. But 
normally I create at worst tens (normally just a couple) of EOs inside a r/r 
loop, and batch imports etc. need to be optimised separately anyway.

Might this be a solution? Or am I overlooking something of importance, as so 
often?

Thanks a lot,
OC
