My code now looks like this:

$hydrator = new ClassMethodsHydrator();
$hydrator->addStrategy('my_attribute', new MyHydrationStrategy());
$form->setHydrator($hydrator);

BTW: The underscore in the attribute doesn't cause any problems

Unfortunately I stumbled upon another foreign-key-relation-based issue, it seems even a Doctrine issue. But I'll open a new question for this.
