given parent entity

@Entity
public class Expenditure implements Serializable {
...
    @OneToMany(mappedBy = "expenditure", cascade = CascadeType.ALL, orphanRemoval = true)
    @OrderBy()
    private List<ExpenditurePeriod> periods = new ArrayList<ExpenditurePeriod>();

    @Version
    private Integer version = 0;
...
}

and child one

@Entity
public class ExpenditurePeriod implements Serializable {
...
    @ManyToOne
    @JoinColumn(name="expenditure_id", nullable = false)
    private Expenditure expenditure;
...
}

While updating both parent and child in one transaction, org.hibernate.StaleObjectStateException is thrown: Row was updated or deleted by another transaction (or unsaved-value mapping was incorrect):

Indeed, hibernate issues two sql updates: one changing parent properties and another changing child properties. Do you know a way to get rid of parent update changing child? The update results both in inefficiency and false positive for optimistic lock. Note, that both child and parent save their state in DB correctly.

Hibernate version is 3.5.1-Final
