Hi Dain,
Your nudge worked... I noticed your append last week, but didn't act on
it. If I remember correctly, I think there are some nuances with our
merge() processing. From what I can tell, your example doesn't explicitly
require the merge() invocations (although they shouldn't hurt). I have a
few inline comments below... I haven't tried your specific example yet,
just some observations... Thanks.

This merge() call should not be required since you have already done the
persist().
assertTrue(entityManager.contains(dain));

This part confused me. A remove() shouldn't remove the entity from the
persistence context. Also, does your example run any differently if you do
a flush() after the remove()?

Here again, there should be no need for the merge()...
assertTrue(entityManager.contains(dain));

Even with the above comments, this failure confuses me. Since we have
persisted and flushed the "dain" object, we should be able to find it...
The only thing that I wonder about is that since you didn't do the flush
after the remove, then it's processing the persist first and then the remove
operation. But, according to section 3.2.1 of the JPA spec, it says that if
persist() is invoked on a removed entity, it becomes managed. I can't find
a reference in the spec that indicates the order of the operations at
commit/flush time.
