Some searching suggests that, indeed, the issue is that when using
Hibernate via JPA (Hibernate EntityManager) autocommit needs to be left
enabled.

For some reason there doesn't seem to be any explicit reference to
autocommit in the Hibernate EntityManager docs or the EJB3 spec. I can't
find anything but (numerous) forum posts and the like on this, so don't
take it as definitive.
