exact that line is a line i have too:
https://gist.github.com/dominikzogg/5705377#file-one2many-php-L49
But my doctrine unfortunately does not recognize all changes i make from the many side. In some situations it works nice, in other not. I am working with sonata admin and take care on the by_reference options, which takes care on add/remove methods.
Would be nice when i understand that, and know when the changes are done.

Its in a very early state, and i will be in 2.0 release, cause BC break:
