Closes #2407

See #2407 for a more detailed description.

The actual use case, in case anyone is interested is to be able to expose a Map where null values are possible. So we couldn't persist a Map because in our case hibernate doesn't let you use maps with null values (and only keys). So we used an embedded type in a Set and JsonAnyGetter/Setter to do the JSON handling.
