Doctrine2 multiple relationships of two entities

We're using Doctrine v2.2.1. With YML defined entities.

Here i have 2 entities which are referring to each other with given associations; 

entities\User:
  type: entity
  table: user
  oneToMany:
    subjectNews:
      targetEntity: entities\News
      mappedBy: subjectUser
      cascade: ["all"]
    actionNews:
      targetEntity: entities\News
      mappedBy: actionUser
      cascade: ["all"]

entities\News:
  type: entity
  table: news
  manyToOne:
    subjectUser:
      targetEntity: entities\User
      cascade: ["all"]
      nullable: true
    actionUser:
      targetEntity: entities\User
      cascade: ["all"]
      nullable: true

When i generate the Entity classes according to these definitions, I get an unexpected result in my entities\User php class. Which is like;

 /**
  * Add subjectNews
  *
  * @param entities\News $subjectNews
  * @return User
  */
 public function addNews(\entities\News $subjectNews)
 {
     $this->subjectNews[] = $subjectNews;
     return $this;
 }

The setter methods in my entities are generated well as expected. But the add methods for entities\User are not generated as expected.

Am I doing something wrong? Or is there any workaround to this? Or is it related with the issue referred in the Limitations and Known Issues doc of Doctrine2?

Peace

This is also one of the issues I came across using Doctrine ORM. Eventhough I don't know an elegant solution for this, I know that you can use get method to get the ORM collection and just add the entity you want. An example would be,

$actionNews = $user->getActionNews();
$actionNews[] = new entities\News();

Or for the subjectNews

$subjectNews = $user->getSubjectNews();
$subjectNews[] = new entities\News();

Hope this helps..
