http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=28422 suggests it is a bug. http://www.xaprb.com/blog/2006/04/11/bit-values-in-mysql/ suggests it would be wise to skip it. But of course you can't tell the DBA to not use a bit column in MySQL - meaning either we need to use and older version of MySQL (< 5.0.3) or not use MySQL's bit + Hibernate at all.
