4.0.5, cmp 2.1, session method can't catch entity createExce

[natgross]

System: Fedora 5.
DB: IBM db2 9.1
JVM: 5.0.9
AS. JBoss 4.0.5GA
persistence-manager: org.jboss.ejb.plugins.cmp.jdbc2.JDBCStoreManager2

In the following method in a session (facade) bean:

private void testCreate() {
 try {
 myEntityHome.create(123,1,1);
 System.out.println("This line executes EVEN when create fails!");
 } catch (CreateException ex) {
 System.out.println("This line NEVER executes!");
 }
}

, upon hitting any jdbc exception, JBoss first executes the method AS IF no exception was thrown, including the lines after the [failed] myEntityHome.create and NOT the lines in the catch block, and (according to the log) afterwards tries the INSERT into the db which triggers (if jdbc problem) the exception and a variety of traces all based on the jdbc error.
How do I get JBoss to let me catch the exception and deal with it?
Thank you all.

The answer is....
It seems like a BUG in Jboss' JDBCStoreManager2. (cmp2.x jdbc2 pm)
I redid my jboss.xml to point to the default persistence-manager, JDBCStoreManager, and the exception is being caught as expected.

Please, if this is NOT a bug please advise. I have this question sitting in three other forums this entire week, and people scratching their heads, and I want to verify this before I report it as a JBoss bug all over the place.

Thank you.
