CmaRuntimeExceptions render Alfresco web-client unusable

It seems that any cma method call that causes a CmaRuntimeException puts the Alfresco web-client in an unstable state until Alfresco is restarted. If the Alfresco instance is not restarted any user interaction with the Alfresco web-client throws the following exception:

12:45:20,480 ERROR [ui.common.Utils] A system error happened during the operation: The transaction has already been marked for rollback
