Grails eager fetch doesn't retrieve all data

Question

I have the domain classes:

class Person {
    static hasMany = [ items: Item ]
    static fetchMode = [ items: 'eager'  ]
    String name
    Set items
}
class Item {
    static belongsTo = [ owner: Person ]
    String name
}

If I leave static fetchMode = [ items: 'eager' ] in place, then calling getItems() only returns about 10% of the items. If I remove the fetchMode, then getItems() returns all the items. Any idea why eager fetch results in retrieving less than all the stored data?

In February 2011, this had been identified as a bug in Grails 1.04, according to grails.org. As of July 2012, the bug is listed as closed, so the problem should be resolved.
