(I was able to set DBIx::SearchBuilder::DEBUG and get it out that
way.)

Eureka! 

The query is

SELECT DISTINCT main.* FROM Tickets main WHERE ((main.EffectiveId = main.id))
   AND ((main.Owner = '2')) ORDER BY main.Created ASC LIMIT 25

which returns 25 tickets as expected. But 19 of the 25 have a status
of "dead". Dead tickets are *hidden* in RT, not excluded in the query,
so since I'm limiting the results to 25, I'm getting 19 dead tickets
and 4 live ones; when I explicitly ask for new/open/stalled, I'm not
getting the dead tickets so I get all 9 live ones. 

I'm inclined to think that that could be done more gracefully,
although *my* code is content now that I understand why my workaround
works. Jesse, is that Working As Designed or have I found an
unintended side-effect?
