Hi folks, While running my test suite, I hit an issue with the following stack trace:

We're on SQLAlchemy 0.9.7, pytest 2.6.4. Note that the test suite is setting up nested transactions on SQLite; we are using the recommended workaround from SQLAlchemy documentation to take control of transactional integration from pysqlite. Since there's an assertion in the code in _stored_in_collection(), I assume that there's some expectation that the refs might not match; am I doing something wrong in my setup which this assertion is meant to catch? I've only seen this error once (while tracking down a different nondeterministic error in my own app's code), so I can't provide much more information than this, but the portion of test fixture code seen above in the stack trace is basically the entire reproduction case. This fixture runs before every test in my suite, but I've only seen an error once across a large number of runs, so the error is *very* intermittent. Because of that, I'm not worried too much about the error itself, but I thought I should post it here in case it's a symptom of something I should be worrying about.
