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.
