Spring 3 and MyBatis 3.0.4 / 3.0.6: MalformedParameterizedTypeException

I am trying to use Spring 3.0.5.RELEASE together with MyBatis in a Maven environment. I added the mybatis-spring dependency. This turned out not to work due to a MalformedParameterizedTypeException (a detailed stacktrace is included below).

Stacktrace:

SEVERE: Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'sqlSessionFactory' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml]: Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is java.lang.reflect.MalformedParameterizedTypeException

There are quite some posts concerning this iusse, yet most of them refer to the problem as being caused by having some Spring 2 dependency somewhere in the class-path which was not the case for me:

The first link mentions an imcompatability to Spring 2 because of the BeanFactory being paramterized in Spring 3 but not in Spring 2. Well, it turns out that the real problem was, that I had a separate MyBatis version (3.0.4) in my dependencies. I changed version 3.0.4 to version 3.0.6 and everything worked just fine. Usually, if one does not have a separate MyBatis dependency somewhere in the project (or parent projects!), the mybatis-spring artifact from Maven comes with MyBatis 3.0.6.

Side note: I had some other issues with the Maven dependency management system I was using because the changed pom.xml dependency would not propagate through to the top-level projects. Obviously after running a mvn clean install -Dmaven.text.skip=true dependencies got propagated to the top level projects and everything was working.
