Comment created by @beberlei:

preFlush is called for every entity, you can retrieve the entity affected by using "getEntity()" on the event arguments. Use "onFlush" to get an evvent that is only called once.

Benjamin,

It is not documented: http://docs.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-orm/en/latest/reference/events.html#preflush
There is no method "getEntity()" in the event arguments class. https://github.com/doctrine/doctrine2/blob/master/lib/Doctrine/ORM/Event/PreFlushEventArgs.php
It is very unexpectable behaviour. Inside event listener (not entity listener) event should called once time per calling "flush()" method of the entity manager.
It can be fixed very simple, I will provide you pull-request soon.

Ok, the problem is as it seems, there is a "preFlush" lifecycle event that is called for every entity, but also a preFlush listener event that isonly called once. I didn't know that there were sementical differences between them. This indeed needs to be fixed.
