Trouble using PricebookEntryId as inputField

I am in the process of creating a more advanced version of the Opportunity Line Item entry page in VisualForce. All going well so far, except that I need to allow the user to select a Pricebook Entry as a lookup relationship when adding  a new line item.

 

If I use the following code, everything seems fine until I click the lookup search button to select a new price book entry (product) and I get an error in the search lookup saying:

 

Required parameter "Missing the parent_id" not defined.

 

Here's the code:

 

<apex:column headerValue="Product" style="width:80px;">	
	<a href="../{!item.id}">{!item.PricebookEntry.Name}</a>	
	<apex:outputPanel rendered="{!isnull(item.PricebookEntry.Name)}">
		<apex:inputField id="priceBookEntry" required="true" value="{!item.PricebookEntryId}" />	
	</apex:outputPanel>
</apex:column>
 
Should I be using this Id, or is there another way of doing this? I have also tried using {!item.Product2Id} but obviously then I have to loop through the new product selections and find their relevant pricebook entries when I save.
 
Any help greatly appreciated :-)

I am pretty sure this is some sort of bug in either the inputField or the actual search lookup dialogue that is preventing me from allowing the user to select a price book entry, in the same way as any other relationship.
 
This is driving me nuts!
 
I've tried every possible way I can think of to do allow the selection of a pricebook entry, but the closest I get is the lookup dialogue with the search box at the top, the title saying "Select a Product" and then the normal full Salesforce UI in the frame below, with the error:
 
Required parameter "Missing the parent_id" not defined.
 
The url the lookup generates is:
 
https://c.cs2.visual.force.com/_ui/common/data/LookupPage?lkfm=j_id0:j_id6&lknm=j_id0:j_id6:table:j_id54:j_id55:1:priceBookEntry&lktp=01u&lksrch=
 
When I create a new OpportunityLineItem, I  use the following code:
 
 
OpportunityLineItem opportunityLineItem =  new OpportunityLineItem( OpportunityId = opportunity.Id, 			PricebookEntryId = new PricebookEntry().Id, 			etc...
 
Here is a screenshot:
 
 
 
Please help me, anyone?!...
