You are correct: when the reference doesn't change, Doctrine won't see it as a change. You can't solve this from within the custom type, as it won't be reached. You'll have to make sure the reference in your entity changes.
The object you are using sounds like a Value Object [1] [2]. I'd advise you to make Value Objects immutable, meaning they cannot be changed. That will force you to create a new object and set it on the entity. The reference is therefor changed and Doctrine will pick it up nicely.
