非法状态与Hibernate 4和ManyToOne级联的异常

我有这两个类

我的项目对象：

@Entity
public class MyItem implements Serializable {

    @Id
    private Integer id;
    @ManyToOne(cascade = {CascadeType.PERSIST, CascadeType.MERGE})
    private Component defaultComponent;
    @ManyToOne(cascade = {CascadeType.PERSIST, CascadeType.MERGE})
    private Component masterComponent;

    //default constructor, getter, setter, equals and hashCode
}

组件对象：

@Entity
public class Component implements Serializable {

    @Id
    private String name;

    //again, default constructor, getter, setter, equals and hashCode
}

我正在用下面的代码来持久化它们：

public class Test {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Component c1 = new Component();
        c1.setName("comp");
        Component c2 = new Component();
        c2.setName("comp");
        System.out.println(c1.equals(c2)); //TRUE

        MyItem item = new MyItem();
        item.setId(5);
        item.setDefaultComponent(c1);
        item.setMasterComponent(c2);

        ItemDAO itemDAO = new ItemDAO();
        itemDAO.merge(item);
    }
}

虽然这在Hibernate 3.6中工作正常，但Hibernate 4.1.3会抛出

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: An entity copy was already assigned to a different entity.

数据库后端是h2（但hsqldb或derby也是如此）。我做错了什么？
