Hard to see how those could be related --- but it's even harder to
credit that the INSERT would get past the parser with an explicit
reference to the new column and then not store it. I think maybe
something is applying an UPDATE to the row and losing the new value
at that point. Are any of the FKs non-default actions (ON ... SET NULL
or some such that would try to alter data instead of just erroring)?
Also, can you check the cmin field of that row and see if it's greater
than zero?
