New children entities in collections not persisted

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When persisting a new object with a collection of child properties that are 
also new entities, the children in the collection are not persisted.

Eg:
{{{
    var author:Author = Author.withName("Some guy");
    var book:Book = getNewBook("Getting Real",author);
    author.books.addItem(book);
}}}

It is expected here that both `author` and `book` will be persisted as new 
entities.  However, `book` is not persisted.

Not exactly sure where to put this code in the server side, so I wrote my own 
postUpdateInterceptor for my specific classes in the meantime. At least this 
successfully works with ManyToMany associations.
