@Christophe: Thanks for the explanation. This was basically my understanding of things. I tried this approach (extending from the superclass) but ran into some errors. It turns out that the current beta 1 of Symfony 2 is incompatible to the UserBundle. I checked out the master versions of both from GitHub and voilá! This basically is what Tim suggested and what the ReadMe says:
Caution: This bundles is developed in sync with symfony's repository The PR6 tag marks the commit in sync with the PR6 release of Symfony but it is not a maintained release of the bundle. All bug fixes will be made in the master branch.
