NHibernate property value null but member value not null

Question

I have a object that has a property that is a reference to another type and uses a camel case private member variable as a backing. When I run my application the property value is being returned as null but if I debug and inspect the field it is not null. Here is what the property looks like:

public virtual FileType FileType
{
    get { return this.fileType; }
    set { this.fileType = value; }
}

I am using Fluent NHibernate to do the mapping and this is what the mapping looks like:

this.References<FileType>(x => x.FileType)
    .Column("FileTypeID")
    .LazyLoad()
    .Cascade.SaveUpdate()
    .Access.CamelCaseField();

I have other object with the exact same layout as this one and they work but for some reason this particular object property always return null. Has anyone ever seen anything like this and would be able to give me some idea how to fix it?

I had the same issue, out of curiosity I upgraded NHibernate from version 3.3.1.4000 to NHibernate 3.4.1.4000 as I thought it had to be a bug in either NHibernate or Fluent and it went away so assume it was a bug in NHibernate. Just for extra information, I am targeting FluentNhibernate version 1.4.0.0.
