Injection does not occur with SMPC + EJBs + TestNG

When using SMPC in EJBs, I get a NullPointerException in my TestNG tests because injection never occurs:

public class OntologySourceDAOTest extends SeamTest {
  @Test
  public void create() throws Exception {
    new ComponentTest() {
      protected void testComponents() throws Exception {
        UserTransaction tx = Transaction.instance();
        tx.begin();

        OntologySourceDAO dao = (OntologySourceDAO) Component
            .getInstance(OntologySourceDAOSeamJPAImpl.class);
        OntologySource obj = dao.create(ontologyURI, identifier, name);
        ...
      }
    }
  }
}

@Name("ontologySourceDAO")
@Stateless
@AutoCreate
public class OntologySourceDAOSeamJPAImpl ... {
  @In
  protected javax.persistence.EntityManager entityManager;
    ...
}|

The EntityManager does not get injected. If I remove the @Stateless annotation, it works. However I would like my DAO to be an EJB and to use a SMPC.

Using Seam 2.1.0.CR1.
