Looking at your data model, you're intending the class AbstractFoo to define
new persistent types without AbstractFoo having a table mapping.  Instead of
annotating the abstract class with the @Entity annotation, I think you
should use the @MappedSuperclass annotation.
What I think should be determined is if an abstract class annotated with
@Entity should "reset" the inheritance hierarchy (as the only reason for
the existence of such a definition would be to provide an inheritance base,
abstract types can't have their own instance, so they must be extended by
another class.) or throw an error during enhancement/runtime.
