The problem can be reproduced by unpacking
http://www.fots.ua.ac.be/~pvgorp/tmp/crossreferences.tar.gz and
calling maven inside the "crossreferences" directory.  As stated, the
following call (from testWriteXMIforUMLmodelClusteredWithinTraceModel)
illustrates that the nested UML extent does not contain the UML model
that was loaded from XMI:
logger.debug("Number of attributes within clustered UML model:
"+handleToTraceModel.getUml().getCore().getAttribute().refAllOfClass().size());

The source of the testcase is located in the tests directory.

Looking forward to learn how to fix this,
thanks in advance,
Pieter.
