"Transaction present on server in Never call" during remove() on stateless session bean in JBoss EAP 6

Issue

• The following code creates, uses and removes a stateless session bean:

myStatelessSessionBean = myStatelessSessionBeanHome.create(); 
try { 
    myStatelessSessionBean.doSomething(); 
} finally { 
    myStatelessSessionBean.remove(); 
}

Sometimes, the exception below is raised:

javax.ejb.EJBException java.lang.IllegalStateException: JBAS011048: Failed to construct component instance [nested: javax.ejb.EJBException: java.lang.IllegalStateException
