Problem with SerializableProxy when de-serializing in a remote client

After calling a SessionBean method that returns an entity with a lazy relation there is an problem with de-serialization on the client side. The lazy field cannot not be assigned because of a ClassCastException. In other projects the same happens after a method returns the result of a query where lazy fields are involved. The problem occurs only with lazy fields. The is a simple test case attached with the problem code line marked.

Here is the complete stacktrace:
