[TYPO3-mvc] Changes were applied without calling update()

yes - that's what persistence is about. You have to use a clone of your 
object if you manipulate it but don't want the changes to get persisted.

Calling repository methods is for cases where you either like to add new 
objects, or worked with a clone and want to replace the original object 
with it.

HTH.
