I half-suspected that this was related to proxies (and ultimately, lazy-loading). I don't consider lazy-loading to be a requirement for entities - indeed, I'm a bit puzzled that lazy-loading is the default behavior for NHibernate mappings (and for all I know, for other ORMs). But it sounds like it's fair to say that a private default constructor is adequate for entities too, as long as you don't require lazy loading? Thanks for the speedy, complete response!
