So is it now possible to combine the extent concept with a mapping on
multiple joined tables?  What would be the expected behavior in such a
scenario?

<class-descriptor class="BaseClassThatCouldBeConcrete"
table="BaseClassTable" >
        <extent-class class-ref="SubClass" />
...
</class-descriptor>
<class-descriptor class="SubClass" table="SubClassTable" >
...
  <reference-descriptor
    name="super"
    class-ref="BaseClassThatCouldBeConcrete"
    auto-retrieve="true"
    auto-update="true"
    auto-delete="true" >
    <foreignkey field-ref="..." />
  </reference-descriptor>
</class-descriptor>

That's why I wrote the test case. Maybe you can rephrase this section in
release-notes, or much better finding a solution for the problem ;-) I
will check in my changes (first alpha version) for this kind of
inheritance today plus some new tests. But it will not solve the problem
described above.
