I'm starting to think that we need a black-magic list.

That seemed to make a lot of sense. but a deep grepping doesn't turn
anything up. Just for kicks, can you try entirely removing this line
from SB::Record->__Value:

  $field = $self->_Accessible($field, "column") if $self->_Accessible($field, "column");

And see if you're still getting the error? Is there a way to reproduce
it 100% of the time? Ideally something I could add to the test suite.

This not being fixed is a big enough thing to delay 3.4.5, which I'd
been planning on putting out todayish. Urg.
