Conforming UnitOfWork New Object w/assignSequenceNumber

Question

If I:
1. Create an instance of a mapped object.
2. Assign the appropriate values.
3. Call UnitOfWork.registerNewObject();
4. Call assignSequenceNumbers();
5. And, using the same UnitOfWork but before committing to the database, create a ReadObjectQuery with an Expression to search on the newly-assigned Sequence Number.
Then, is it possible for a ReadObjectQuery to find this value?
I have tried:
1. On the descriptor, setting setShouldAlwaysConformResultsInUnitOfWork(true);
2. On the query, checkCacheByPrimaryKey();
Nothing works.
Everything in the docs suggests I should be able to do this, but I always get null. Is there any way to get this newly registered object out of the UnitOfWork?

Nate,
Here is a chunk of code I just wrote to perform what I believe you want. I use regsiterObject instead of registerNewObject and I set conforming on the query.
UnitOfWork uow = getSession().acquireUnitOfWork();
Employee newEmp = new Employee(); // Original
Employee wcEmp = (Employee) uow.registerObject(newEmp); // Register and recieved working copy
uow.assignSequenceNumbers();
System.out.println("Original id: " + newEmp.getId() + " - " + newEmp.hashCode());
System.out.println("WC id: " + wcEmp.getId() + " - " + wcEmp.hashCode());
// Now we'll search for it
ReadObjectQuery roq = new ReadObjectQuery(Employee.class);
roq.setSelectionCriteria(roq.getExpressionBuilder().get("id").equal(wcEmp.getId()));
roq.conformResultsInUnitOfWork();
Employee emp = (Employee) uow.executeQuery(roq);
System.out.println("Found: " + emp.getId() + " - " + emp.hashCode());
The output from the run gives me:
Original id: 0 - 33459432
WC id: 471 - 29345020
Found: 471 - 29345020
As you can see the working copy returned from the register is the one that has the PK assigned and is also returned from the query.
