At the team meeting in Austin, I remember discussion about cases where different "strategies" were needed to process values obtained from annotations and hbm.xml sources. I can't remember if we discussed unsaved values, but it seems to me that this is one case where this is needed.
I created a pull request for dealing with unsaved values: https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-orm/pull/298. Please take a look and provide feedback to let me know if I'm on the right track.
