What I'm really asking is when OpenJPA loads a one-to-many field,
what kind of collection is injected into the bean? Is it a plain old
HashSet? If not, what does the collection use to determine equality
between elements?

You are probably better off using database identity for equality.
If all the elements are of the same persistent base class, you can
probably use the id of the object as the key for comparisons.
