And I remember now the reason the error message is confusing, I'll bet that was 
an actual bug I discovered in (iirc) DBI or DBD::Oracle which was fixed, but 
not on this particular server, because we're still constrained to running a 
very old version for various reasons. The error message actually displays the 
values for the last successful insert not the one that failed.

Mystery now solved.
