Lack of sleep isn't helping.  I'd like to understand so I can
duplicate the problem.

Are you saying that the above select returns, _init() is called for a
row that is already in the live object index and that object is
returned so _attribute_store is never called (and thus class_count column
isn't copied to the object)?

Maybe I'm missing something, but if _init() is called why doesn't it
always update the object?

By make a class_count method you mean make a method that does the
execute and sth_to_objects?  The problem with that is I'm not running
through the Sweet pager code.
