The key fact here is probably that restarting the application  
corrects the behaviour, which suggests that some of your objects are  
probably already in memory, and having come from a normal retrieval  
method they don't have the temp column. If you're not using any other  
caching, see if disabling the live object index corrects the problem.  
if so, you need to look for scoping problems or perhaps just change  
the way your objects are constructed after the set_sql call so that  
it doesn't go through _init().
