Yes, there are two unique instances and they are connected. You don't
really want to have duplicate entries, but a count - which needs a
container object. I think no one on the Doctrine side will agree on this
being a bug.

Think of it in terms of PHP code, how would you solve this? Would you
really put 5 items into a basket, or would you use 1 and a count field?
