The initializer checks the flag "overridesEquals". But it does not take into account the subclasses, that can implement "equals". So, we have two classes:

A

and

B --> A

The both classes are persistent. The class A does not override "equals". The class B overrides. Then when the instance of B is loaded lazily (and it referenced as A), the proxy is based on A. And this proxy does not call B.equals method.
