Mapping Enum to a String column uses toString() instead of name()

I have a field in an entity like

...
@Type( type = "pgsql_enum" )
@Enumerated(EnumType.STRING)
private MyEnum myEnum;
...

where MyEnum is defined as

public enum MyEnum{
    PROP_A {
        @Override
        public String toString() {
            return "Prop A";
        }
    }
}

I expected that in my db the field would be PROP_A but I find that it is Prop A which indicates that the conversion is using the toString() representation of enum whereas I believe name() would be more appropriate since toString() is overridable and name() is not. Is there a workaround or a configuration property I have overlooked?

The issue can be easily replicated by overriding the toString() method of an enum member. This causes whatever is returned in the toString() to be saved in the db. This has an additional effect of not being able to query the record anymore since the string returned via toString() cannot be resolved by Enum.valueOf(). If you still need a reproduction, a template project would help me provide one.

You need to send a replicating test case to prove the problem. This is a mandatory step in order to fix any issue.
