In a before_create trigger you need to use
	$self->_attribute_store(address => $value)
rather than calling the ->address method directly.

Calling ->address() will set the address field to be modified at the
next UPDATE, but create doesn't call UPDATE just INSERT. So when the
object goes out of scope you'll get the normal warnings about having an
altereredf ield not having been written to the database.

This isn't particularly ideal, but I don't have a good solution at this
point.
