I also ran into this issue, using Jackson 2.5. My solution was to replace the implementation of javax.json.JsonObjectBuilder in use with my own, which when a new object is added behaves like this :

public class CustomJsonObjectBuilder implements JsonObjectBuilder {

  private final Map jsonFragments;

  // other methods omitted for brevity

   public JsonObjectBuilder add(String name, JsonValue value) {
     if(jsonFragments.containsKey(name)) {
        JsonValue oldValue = jsonFragments.get(name);
        JsonArrayBuilder newBuilder = new JsonArrayBuilderImpl();
        if(oldValue instanceof JsonArray) {
            JsonArray theArray = (JsonArray) oldValue;
            for (JsonObject oldValues : theArray.getValuesAs(JsonObject.class)) {
                newBuilder.add(oldValues);
            }
        } else {
            newBuilder.add(oldValue);
        }
        newBuilder.add(value);
        jsonFragments.put(name, newBuilder.build());
     } else {
        jsonFragments.put(name, value);
     }
     return this;
   }
