No request scope during an EJB timeout method

Since AS6 CR1, during an EJB timeout method, when trying to use request-scoped beans, I am getting an exception: "No active contexts for scope type javax.enterprise.context.RequestScoped". According to specs, this should work.

As a temporary workaround, I am registering a request context by hand:

@Inject
BoundRequestContext requestContext;

Map<String, Object> context = new HashMap<String, Object>();
try

{ requestContext.associate(context); requestContext.activate(); // Do the timeout stuff }

finally

{ requestContext.invalidate(); requestContext.deactivate(); requestContext.dissociate(context); }

Btw. I tried doing this with an interceptor, but it seems that neither EJB interceptors or CDI interceptors work with timers ...
