I've noticed a rather insidious 3.0.4 change to the way that chained
where methods that reference the same attribute are handled.  Does
anyone know where I can find more information about where/when this
change came in, and the justification for it?  I haven't been able to
find a changelog mentioning this modification.

Essentially, when you chain two where methods together that reference
the same attribute, the SQL query generated uses an OR on that
attribute, rather than AND.

Example:

Rails 3.0.3
State.where(:abbreviation => 'TX').where(:abbreviation => 'NE')
SQL: SELECT `states`.* FROM `states` WHERE (`states`.`abbreviation` =
'TX') AND (`states`.`abbreviation` = 'NE')

Rails 3.0.4
State.where(:abbreviation => 'TX').where(:abbreviation => 'NE')
SQL: SELECT `states`.* FROM `states` WHERE (`states`.`abbreviation` =
'TX' OR `states`.`abbreviation` = 'NE')
