In this particular case this was a has_many / belongs_to pair and I was
attempting a parent.child.create({}) call. I discovered thereby that
Rails, at least in version 2.3.2, evidently does not permit mass
assignment of attributes ending in _type or _value; apparently
regardless of their presence in an attr_accessible call.
However, this problem proved serendipitous. In consequence I have
discovered a great deal regarding problems with mass assignment. The
result is that I have instead turned off mass assignment for the entire
application. This, needless to say, has broken a great deal of my tests
and functioning code but I am mostly finished resolving those problems.
I found a good discussion of this problem and some solutions at:
