I can not reproduce this issue. Sorry. It all works fine on my 
installation. Maybe you can give me more information?

The O/R-Mapper is clearly separated from the (Domain) Repositories. The 
only method you have to implement is the buildQuery() and the fetch() 
method.

In the latest version of extbase I added several checks whether a common 
typo3 column (e.g. cruser_id) extists or not. But I agree, there should 
be a better separation between the O/R-Mapper and the DataMap/ColumnMap. 
  This would enable you to switch the Metadata configuration.
