FWIW I think that all of the weirdness I saw was caused by me using
three different versions of osgi core to build the various bundles.

When I moved to karaf 4.1.1 and OSGi 6.0 I cleaned up all of that and
all bundles now have the same version of OSGi core (and the need for the
troublesome OSGi compendium went away):
 https://github.com/steinarb/ukelonn/commit/9fc41d0ee19b5758526bc8165667569e697dfa36


The reason for the different osgi.core versions in the project predates
my move to karaf, where I wanted my app to run both with "mvn
pax:provision" and running from a manually set up pax exam test.  This
required quite a bit of trial and error experimentation.

I think part of my reluctance to make the move to karaf last autumn, was
that I had invested so much time and effort into making the "mvn
pax:provision" run, and the manually set up pax exam test load the
bundles right... I didn't just want to throw that effort away...:-)

But now I'm glad I did. :-)
