A couple. One has a Deny delete rule. The other is a many-many and has a 
Nullify delete rule, but the target object type, Transaction, is never deleted 
so these shouldn't come into play.

I grepped out all my cascade rules in the model plist files and couldn't see 
any that I could suspect of this crime.
If I work out what was triggering it, I will report back on this thread, but 
for now, I am ok with my workaround, many thanks.
