I have a node whose definition has properties and child nodes.  The 
definitions of the nodetypes for the node and the child include 
mix:versionable.  The properties definitions have onParentVersion=COPY and 
the child nodes have onParentVersion=VERSION.  When I create a node with 
child nodes and checkin and then restore the node, I get a 
"....VersionException: Restore of root node not allowed"  This is 
occurring on the restore of the child node.

According to the spec:

Child Node 
On checkin of N, the node VN will get a subnode of type nt:versionedChild 
with the same name as C. The single property of this node, 
jcr:childVersionHistory is a REFERENCE to the version history of C (not to 
C or any actual version of C). This also requires that C itself be 
versionable (otherwise it would not have a version history). 
.
.
.
On restore of VN, if the workspace currently has an already existing node 
corresponding to C?s version history and the removeExisting flag of the 
restore is set to true, then that instance of C becomes the child of the 
restored N. If the workspace currently has an already existing node 
corresponding to C?s version history and the removeExisting flag of the 
restore is set to false then an ItemExistsException is thrown. 


I'm restoring the node using 

    node.restore(version, true);

Is this expected behavior?
