I'll look at revising this shortly. What specifically isn't available in 1.1
that the patch used? (the JDK javadoc is fairly useless at giving an
overview of API changes by version).

Certainly the best fix is to fix the backend.. Where's the best place to
forward this to? I doubt I'll have time to work on this myself.
In the meantime I'll probably use an explicitly named constraint as you
suggest, but this is likely to bite anyone using the metadata values to
generate unique table names.
