It's not a bug. In your setters you defined that you expect a certain 
class to be passed as argument - if that's not the case PHP is throwing 
an exception. The only way to prevent this while keeping lazyLoading is 
to first load the real instance of a lazyloaded property and then assign 
it to the object:

...
$propertyValue = Tx_....getProperty(....);
if (is_object($propertyValue) && $propertyValue instanceof 
Tx_Extbase_Persistence_LazyLoadingProxy) {
	$propertyValue = $propertyValue->_loadRealInstance();
}
...
