Note: I'm not sayin that the karaf BOM was to blame for this.
I'm just saying that doing something like
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>no.priv.bang.beans</groupId>
<artifactId>beans-bom</artifactId>
<version>${beans.version}</version>
<type>pom</type>
<scope>import</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
into the effective POM of a BOM causes the dependencies of beans-bom (in
he example) to be included everywhere that BOM is imported.
