Why is it happening? The full code of that sub is:

sub stringify_self {
	my $self = shift;
	return (ref $self || $self) unless $self;    # empty PK
	my @cols = $self->columns('Stringify');
	@cols = $self->primary_columns unless @cols;
	return join "/", $self->get(@cols);
}

which implies that either you have undefined columns in your primary
keys or you have explicitly told it to stringify undefined values??

Cheers, Dave
