This seems to be an OpenJPA issue. I also had the same question as you and
so far got no explanation for this behaviour of OpenJPA. The JPA spec
doesn't mention this coupling of unique constraints and non-nullability. I
have filed a corresponding issue here:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-1387

(This reply is rather late; I came across your request via an explicit
search)
