ejbCreate() and ejbRemove() on SLSB

[carlos fernandez]

The HFEJB (pg 228) and Spec (pg 90) both state that a SLSB can get a reference to its EJB object in ejbCreate() and ejbRemove() via the SessionContext's getEJBObject() and getEJBLocalObject().
This doesn't make any sense to me. SLSB instantiation and removal is completely decoupled from client calls to create() and remove(). Furthermore the container does not link a bean to its EJB object until the client invokes biz methods on the EJB object (pg 226 HFEJB and section 7.9 of spec).
So how does the SessionObject return a valid EJB object in ejbCreate and ejbRemove()?
