$article = $this->getArticleRepository()->find(1);
$article->setTitle('New Title');

$this->getEntityManager()->flush($article);// flushing article, removing products, but don't touching $category::products
$this->getEntityManager()->flush();// fatal error: A new entity was found through the relationship 'Category#products' that was not configured to cascade persist operations for entity: Product@XXXXX

Need a test case to reproduce this. Seems like one of the usual flush($somethingSpecific) issues. Dropping support for that can't come soon enough!

Raised #6118, since this flush($something) stuff will NEVER end (it cannot by design limitations of the UnitOfWork)
