You already discovered that doesn't work, but FYI, might_have() is not 
for situations where you have a has_a() which might be NULL.  The 
has_a() relationship handles NULLs just fine.  The might_have() is for 
situations where you have a has_many() that will never have more than 
one, i.e. another table has 0 or 1 rows with a foreign key pointing to 
this table.  It's a very rare situation.
