A has_many relationship doesn't push the added value onto internal
storage - calling it results in a re-fetch from the DB so assuming the
original went out of scope you'll get a fresh object.

If you keep the original in scope -and- have the LOI on it might appear to
work, but I'd advise strongly against relying on that.
