I encounter a problem with extra lazy and postRemove (doctrine/orm v2.5.6)

Here a simple example. When I remove reference from group, the entity reference is removed from database but PostRemove is never called. If I remove the annotation fetch="EXTRA_LAZY", the PostRemove is called.

Is this the normal behavior?
Or maybe, am I doing something wrong?

class Group
{  
    /**
     * @ORM\OneToMany(targetEntity="GroupReference", mappedBy="group", fetch="EXTRA_LAZY", cascade={"all"}, orphanRemoval=true)
     */
    protected $references;
}

class GroupReference
{
    /**
     * @ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="Group", inversedBy="references")
     * @ORM\JoinColumn(name="group_id", referencedColumnName="id")
     */
    protected $group;
}

class MyListener
{
    public function postRemove(LifecycleEventArgs $args)
    {
         var_dump('postRemove called');
    }
}

// PostRemove never called except if I remove annotation extra lazy in the group
$group->removeReference($groupReference);
$this->em->flush();
