I also tried Olivier's example and got the same StackOverflow errors. I also tried subkamran's solution but not luck there as I am not using a base class from the entity model code generation. Automapper still blows up. Until I find a better solution, I just set the Context to not create Proxies when I create a Context object.

model.Configuration.ProxyCreationEnabled = false; 
model.Configuration.LazyLoadingEnabled = true; 

I would also like to see an answer to the problem perhaps using something build into Automapper...

UPDATE: The Pre-release of Automapper corrects this issue and allows for the mapping to cover a DynamicProxy with no extra configuration.

The release this works in is 2.2.1
