Hi Jerry,
   Ok, I take out the OneToOne annotation, and employ inheritance as shown below. The test works just fine. I don't see unmanaged object exception. 

(1)
@Entity
public class SimpleEntity {
    @Id
    private long id;
    public long getId() { return id; }
    public void setId(long id) { this.id = id; }
   
    @Strategy("MyPointHandler")
    @Persistent(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
    private MyPoint custom;
    public MyPoint getCustom() { return custom; }
    public void setCustom(MyPoint custom) { this. custom = custom; }
}

(2)
public class MyPoint {
    String val;
    public MyPoint(String val) { this.val = val; }
    public String getValue() { return val; }
}

(3)
public class SpecializedPoint extends MyPoint {
    int intVal;
    public SpecializedPoint(String val) { super(val); }
 
    public SpecializedPoint(String val, int intVal) {
        super(val);
        this.intVal = intVal;
    }

    public int getIntVal() { return intVal; }
    public void setIntVal(int intVal) { this.intVal = intVal; }
}

(4)
public class MyPointHandler extends AbstractValueHandler {
    public Column[] map(ValueMapping vm, DBIdentifier name, ColumnIO io,
        boolean adapt) {
        String dbIdName = name.getName();
        Column c1 = new Column();
        c1.setIdentifier(DBIdentifier.newColumn(dbIdName + "_val"));
        c1.setJavaType(JavaTypes.STRING);
        
        Column c2 = new Column();
        c2.setIdentifier(DBIdentifier.newColumn(dbIdName + "_intVal"));
        c2.setJavaType(JavaTypes.INT_OBJ);

        return new Column[]{ c1, c2 };
    }    
    
    public Column[] map(ValueMapping vm, String name, ColumnIO io, boolean adapt)  {
        Column c1 = new Column();
        c1.setIdentifier(DBIdentifier.newColumn(name + "_val"));
        c1.setJavaType(JavaTypes.STRING);

        Column c2 = new Column();
        c2.setIdentifier(DBIdentifier.newColumn(name + "_intVal"));
        c2.setJavaType(JavaTypes.INT_OBJ);

        return new Column[]{ c1, c2 };
    }
    
    public boolean isVersionable() {
        return true;
    }
    
    public Object toDataStoreValue(ValueMapping vm, Object val, JDBCStore store) {
        return new Object[] {((SpecializedPoint)val).getValue(), 
                ((SpecializedPoint)val).getIntVal()};
    }
   
    public Object toObjectValue(ValueMapping vm, Object val) {
        Object[] objVal = (Object[]) val;
        return new SpecializedPoint((String)objVal[0], (Integer)objVal[1]);
    }
 }

(5) Here is my test program:
    public void testStrat() {
        EntityManager em = emf.createEntityManager();
        
        SimpleEntity e = new SimpleEntity();
        e.setId(1);
        SpecializedPoint custom = new SpecializedPoint("myPoint", 1);
        e.setCustom(custom);
        em.persist(e);
        em.getTransaction().begin();
        em.getTransaction().commit();
        em.clear();
        
        SimpleEntity e1 = em.find(SimpleEntity.class, 1);
        System.out.println("e1 = " + e1);
    }

Unfortunately, it doesn't help much in my case as the objects are serializing binary data to the database and only a single column is required for the whole family of classes.  Is there a different mechanism for this scenario?

FWIW, I've employed a slightly different workaround.  I defined a simple class holding the base class and made corresponding changes to the setter, getter, and strategy class.

This seems unnecessary but it works.
