Support for Recursive Many to Many Relationships

$

I' curious if Mendix fully supports many to many recurisive relationships?  The data modeler allows creating a many to many association from Entity A to Entity A.  Let's call this association A_A.

Let's say I've created two instances of A - A1 & A2.

When I associate A2 to A1 the reference set for A1 seems to accurately reflect the member of A2 over the A_A association.

However, when I go to look at A2, its A_A association reference set is empty.  It's as if system does not truly treat the A_A association  as a many to many.

Is this an implementation short coming within Mx?  I've noted that on the A_A properties, the modeler complains if the Owner property is set to "Both".  The error message states:  Owner must be "Default" for self-referential associations.

Am I missing something, or is this a limitation within Mx?  I could get around it with an old fashioned associative entity, but would rather not go that route unless I have to.
