It's surprising you haven't been bit by this. If you have the same table in
two databases and they have any primary keys in common, then the object index
can cause the wrong instance to be returned. Refer to

http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=6434

One alternative to disabling the object index entirely is to override
_live_object_key() with a version that uniquely identifies each object with
the database it's from, as suggested by Tony in the discussion for that bug.
