Rick, Thank you for your help. Here is the scenario:
1. Get a persistent instance of an entity 2. Detach entity 3. Update values on the entity with non-null values 4. One of these values will be a string value with existing non-trivial data 5. Set the value on this field to null 6. Merge entity 7. All other fields are updated except this value.
