Sender is not preserved in ReceivePersistentActor.Persist callback

[andersstorhaug]

As outlined in the documentation here:

An event handler may close over persistent actor state and mutate it. The sender of a persisted event is the sender of the corresponding command. This allows event handlers to reply to the sender of a command (not shown).

However, when I attempt to do this, from within a Persist callback, Sender is akka://System/deadLetters. The Sender property however is correct when accessed in the outer command handler.

As an aside, simple workaround here is to use a closure over Sender in the Persist callback.

This is with FX 4.7 and Akka 1.3.1.

@andersstorhaug This was fixed via #3779 for the BatchingSqlJournal. And for the classic journal this shouldn't be an issue at all at this point.
