The explanation is actually in the above passage I quoted from the
manual. The inverse container doesn't have its own table and thus
there is no place to store the map's key. The entries for this
container are "inferred" from the entries for the direct side of
the relationship. Section 6.2, "Bidirectional Relationships" in
the ODB manual has more information on this.

One way to make map "work" in your example would be to make the
other side inverse instead.
