ah, my mistake. I missed the second conditional.

it does this:

     return $value if ref $value and $value->isa( $a_class );
     $self->_croak if ref $value;

so if the inflator returns a simple value or undef then it doesn't  
croak and carries on to call the default construction method. As you  
say, it even passes $value to the constructor. Perhaps in a previous  
version this was helpful (returning an id for inflation?), but now it  
seems like a bug.

sorry: replied in too much of a hurry (to get out and walk the dog!)
