Symfony 2 Dependency Injection into Entity Function

I am looking at http://symfony.com/doc/2.0/cookbook/service_container/parentservices.html

newsletter_manager:
    class:     %newsletter_manager.class%
    parent: mail_manager
    calls:
        - [ setFilter, [ @another_filter ] ]

I am supposed to be able to inject services into function calls (if I didn't understand wrongly). But when I tried in my own project, 

myapp.userBridge:
    class: ...\NotesBundle\Bridge\UserBridge
    arguments:
        - '@doctrine.orm.entity_manager'
myapp.user:
    class: ...\UserBundle\Entity\User
    calls:
        - [ initUserNotesBundle, [ @myapp.userBridge ] ]
        - [ cleanupUserNotesBundle, [ @myapp.userBridge ] ]

But when the function is called (Doctrine 2 Life Cycle Callback: PrePersist)

public function initUserNotesBundle(UserBridge $userBridge) {
    $userBridge->prePersistUser($this);
}

It gives 

Catchable Fatal Error: Argument 1 passed to ...\UserBundle\Entity\User::initUserNotesBundle()
must be an instance of ...\NotesBundle\Bridge\UserBridge, none given,
called in ...\Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\ClassMetadataInfo.php on line 1540
and defined  in ...\UserBundle\Entity\User.php line 319

Not an exactly an answer to this question, but an alternate method of solving this problem. I found I can use Event Listeners

services:
    my.listener:
        class: Acme\SearchBundle\Listener\SearchIndexer
        tags:
            - { name: doctrine.event_listener, event: postSave }

class SearchIndexer
{
    public function postSave(LifecycleEventArgs $args)
    {
        $entity = $args->getEntity();
        $entityManager = $args->getEntityManager();

        // perhaps you only want to act on some "Product" entity
        if ($entity instanceof Product) {
            // do something with the Product
        }
    }
}
