[Rails/Postgres] DB migrate scripts break on references

I've been following online examples of how to create tables the Rails way
and I noticed the migration scripts I created containing references don't
work out of the box. I thought maybe I did something wrong so I tried just
now making a test application/migration against a *SQLite3* datasource. I
ran the following commands:

$ rails g scaffold SchoolClass name
$ rails g scaffold Student name SchoolClass:references

And it made my migration scripts (along with everything else).

I ran the migration scripts and it worked fine.

When I tried doing the same steps above against a *Postgres* datasource, I
kept on getting the following:

PG::UndefinedTable: ERROR:  relation does not exist

The only way I got past this issue is if I went into the migration script
and updated the t.references line and replaced the class name with the
actual table name. It's a simple enough fix, but I've got a ton of tables
to migrate and each table can have a good number of references. Has anyone
seen this before, and is there some way to keep on using the scaffold
utility to make migrations?

Appreciative of any useful assistance,

 - Joe
