that's the behaviour that is specified in JSR 170. a query is executed
only against persisted (saved & committed) nodes.
JSR 283 is more open and allows an implementation to also take saved
but uncommitted changes into account or even transient changes that
are not yet saved.
Jackrabbit currently does not implement any of the above.

yeah, that's a special case. instead of actually executing a 'query'
it simply returns an iterator that walks the workspace tree. that also
includes transient changes.

create a JIRA issue and submit a patch :)
