Injecting Session Beans into Servlet in EAR archiv throws exception

Injecting Session bean using either @Inject annotation directly or Instance<T> with following .get() into Servlet in EAR archiv throws an exception

Steps to reproduce:
1) download attached zip file and unpack it among weld/jsf examples
2) run "mvn clean package" in root directory of the new project
3) deploy resulting weld-pastie.ear into JBossAS default configuration
4) go to localhost: http://localhost:8080/weld-pastie/download //which invokes the servlet
5) now you can see following exception at jboss console:
