CDI injection in entity listeners failing in WAR contained in EAR

From https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-2387?focusedCommentId=13391617&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13391617

I just tried this out in wildfly 11.0.0.Alpha1 and it works fine, when our application is deployed directly as WAR archive. But as soon as I add that same WAR to an EAR file and deploy that, we get the following exception:
