Hibernate - One to many relationship and orphanRemoval cascade

I have a basic one to many relation parent / child like in the chapter 21 of Hibernate references book.
The cascade is only from child to parent (persist cascade only because I don't want to delete the parent if I delete a child).
When I add a child to the parent and I save the child, I have a TransientObjectException...

@Entity
public class Parent implements Serializable {

  @Id
  @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
  private Long id;

  @OneToMany(mappedBy = "parent", orphanRemoval = true)
  private List<Child> childs;

  public List<Child> getChilds() {
    return childs;
  }

  public void setChilds(List<Child> childs) {
    this.childs = childs;
  }

  public void addChild(Child child) {
    if (childs == null) childs = new ArrayList<Child>();
    if (childs.add(child)) child.setParent(this);
  }

  public Long getId() {
    return id;
  }

  public void setId(Long id) {
    this.id = id;
  }
}

@Entity
public class Child implements Serializable {

  @Id
  @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
  private Long id;

  @ManyToOne(optional = false)
  @Cascade( { PERSIST, MERGE, REFRESH, SAVE_UPDATE, REPLICATE, LOCK, DETACH })
  private Parent parent;

  public Parent getParent() {
    return parent;
  }

  public void setParent(Parent parent) {
    this.parent = parent;
  }

  public Long getId() {
    return id;
  }

  public void setId(Long id) {
    this.id = id;
  }
}


@Test
public void test() {
  Parent parent = new Parent();
  Child child = new Child();
  parent.addChild(child);
  genericDao.saveOrUpdate(child);
}

But on the saveOrUpdate, I have this exception:

I really don't understand because saving the Child should save the Parent via the cascade... Any ideas ?

UPDATE 1
The problem seems to be related to "orphanRemoval" because if I comment it on the parent:

@OneToMany(mappedBy = "parent" /*, orphanRemoval = true */)
private List<Child> childs;

It works!
It save the child, then the parent.
But I really need the orphan to be deleted via the cascade when I remove a child from its parent.

UPDATE 2
I've created a JIRA issue:
http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-5364

UPDATE 3
It seems to be fixed :-)
