"Object: null is not a known entity type" when refreshing JPAContainer

It seems the container cannot be refreshed twice after a remove?

To reproduce:

container.removeItem(id);
container.refresh();//this one works
container.refresh();//this one will throw exception

Exception is the following

SEVERE: Terminal error:
