Transactional issue using executor in CMT configuration

Issue

As a way to asynchronously call our EJBs from inside a process, I want to use the executor.
In order to achieve that, following KCS was followed.

WorkItem named "async" (automatically mapped to org.jbpm.executor.impl.wih.AsyncWorkItemHandler) was created and placed in a process containing only that task.
If no command class is given, this WIH uses org.jbpm.executor.commands.PrintOutCommand. If 'autocomplete' is not set, it registers org.jbpm.executor.impl.wih.AsyncWorkItemHandlerCmdCallback.

The problem is that an error is raised at AsyncWorkItemHandlerCmdCallback.java:62.
It is caused by an InvocationTargetException at KnowledgeStoreServiceImpl.java:143, itself caused by a NullPointerException at TransactionSynchronizationRegistryWrapper.java:69. The full stacktrace look like this:

This happens only when org.jbpm.persistence.jta.ContainerManagedTransactionManager is used, which was configured due to another error in the CMT environment as per this KCS.
If default TransactionManager is used, then there is no error
