i've attached an example, where a class constructor setups a default value on a relation field, in the constructor, the app code latter explicitly sets the fk attribute on the class, but sa ignores this value, and in the flushing process sets it be the value of the orm field, so that it 'magically' becomes none even though it was explicitly set, which throws an integrity constraint violation since the fk is setup to be not null. not sure if this a bug or just a warning on sa usage patterns..
