@EntityGraph annotation log warning message "Entity graph specified is not applicable to the entity ... . Ignored." and works as if EntityGraph.EntityGraphType.LOAD would set.

After update to hibernate 4.5.20 with a new spring-boot 2.3.3 my application start to flood logs with a warning
"Entity graph specified is not applicable to the entity [entity type]. Ignored."
and a lot of N+1 query issues appeared while report generation.

@EntityGraph annotation starts to log this error on each entity retrieving. and start to work as if EntityGraph.EntityGraphType.LOAD would set. so it fetches a lot eagerly fetched relationships (in my case it is crucial as I have quite a complex data model and retrieve few thousands of entities ).

Here is a git repo that has only 4 entities and reproduces the issue.

Run the test to see warning in logs end extra queries.
here is the diff of console output between 4.5.18 and 4.5.20
