Yes, in fact it confirmed my initial suspicion. You don't have a deflate 
method to go with the inflate, and that seems to trip you up here.

Try this instead:

__PACKAGE__->has_a(started_on  => 'DateTime',
	   inflate => sub {DateTime->from_epoch(epoch => shift);},
	   deflate => 'epoch', # the method to call on the DateTime
			       # object (if it exists)
	);

Hope that helps,
