Symfony security uses the wrong sql table alias during authentication - php

Question

I am trying to make my own User entity which extends the SuluUser entity (so I can add some properties). After following the instructions from the Sulu documentation: Extend Entities I then created my own symfony authentication for the (front) website however, when I try to authenticate I get the following error.
Edit: added the imports and annotations for the user entity
An exception occurred while executing 'SELECT t1.username AS username_2, t1.password AS password_3, t1.locale AS locale_4, t1.salt AS salt_5, t1.locked AS locked_6, t1.enabled AS enabled_7, t1.lastLogin AS lastLogin_8, t1.confirmationKey AS confirmationKey_9, t1.passwordResetToken AS passwordResetToken_10, t1.passwordResetTokenExpiresAt AS passwordResetTokenExpiresAt_11, t1.passwordResetTokenEmailsSent AS passwordResetTokenEmailsSent_12, t1.privateKey AS privateKey_13, t1.apiKey AS apiKey_14, t1.email AS email_15, t1.id AS id_16, t1.firstname AS firstname_17, t1.lastname AS lastname_18, t1.phonenumber AS phonenumber_19, t1.gender AS gender_20, t1.password_changed_date AS password_changed_date_21, t1.confirmation_token AS confirmation_token_22, t1.idContacts AS idContacts_23 FROM user t1 WHERE t0.email = ? LIMIT 1' with params ["test#test.com"]:
SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 't0.email' in 'where clause'
I'm not sure why it's using t0.email when the rest of the query uses t1 as an alias, but this breaks the login from the (front) website. Admin can login just fine for the sulu backend. I believe it has something to do with the inheritance with the SuluUser that my User entity extends. Any help would be very much appreciated. I have read about doctrine inheritance here but I don't think that applies to me as I cannot (should not) change the class in Sulu\Bundle\SecurityBundle\Entity\User. I have configured the following

Its very important when you override the Sulu entities that you set it on the same table name else the override of the entity does not work correctly so as in the documentation set the #ORM\Table with "se_users" and #ORM\Entity to it.
<?php
namespace App\Entity;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use Sulu\Bundle\SecurityBundle\Entity\User as SuluUser;
/**
* Following annotations are required and should not be changed:
*
* #ORM\Table(name="se_users")
* #ORM\Entity
*/
class User extends SuluUser
{
}
