I see this, but nothing else in ERXEntity related to this:

        public boolean hasExternalName() {
                // (ldeck) radar://6592526 fix for 5.4.3 regression which 
assumed that any parent entity that is abstract has no external name!
                return externalName() != null && externalName().trim().length() 
> 0;
        }
