That is to be expected. Everything returned from Doctrine will end up
being such a proxy. Which is not a problem, because that proxy
technically *is* an Account instance.

To me, a fresh instance would be something not yet persisted. What is a
fresh instance to you?

That could be, but is then more caused by session stuff than
persistence. If someone can whip up some code to reproduce this, I'll
gladly have a look.
