EntityExistsException does not cause current transaction marked as rollbackOnly

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. tx.begin();
2. em.persist(obj);
3. tx.commit();
4. obj = em.merge(obj); // bring obj back to managed
5. tx.begin();
6. em.persist(obj); // this throws EntityExistsExcetion
// and tx should be marked as rollbackOnly
// however tx.getRollbackOnly() returns false

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
tx.getRollbackOnly() should return true after try/catch
EntityExistsException. Got false instead.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
All versions, tried 1.2.2 and 1.2.5 through. On linux, but does not matter.

Please provide any additional information below.

SVN trunk uses DataNucleus 3.x and don't see this problem
