Normally, this code should always work:

Node node = ...

session.getNodeByIdentifier(node.getIdentifier());

if ( node.isNodeType("mix:referenceable") {

    session.getNodeByIdentifier(node.getProperty("jcr:uuid").getString());

However, the second call to "getNodeByIdentifier()" with the "jcr:uuid" property value does not work if "node" happens to be under "/jcr:system".
