You have stumbled upon what I believe to be one of the biggest weaknesses in EOF, and the solutions are (again, in my opinion) terrible.
I don't really see this as a big weakness of EOF ... It has to be able to track changes, and without an editing context, it's not in a "transaction", and therefore you can't do it. You can usually get away with this if you're setting non-relationship attributes, but especially when it comes to relationships to other objects, this just can't fly.

I put my "constructor" eogenerator templates up on the wikibook page months ago -- it autogenerates YourEntity.createYourEntity(...) with the attributes based on all required attributes and all required relationships. This gives you essentially exactly what you would expect a constructor to have, but more like a factory sort of pattern than a traditional constructor.
