After running more tests, here's another confusor:

NullParent hasMany NullChild

$this->NullParent->saveAssociated([
           'NullParent' => ['name' => 'wee'],
           'NullChild' => [
               ['name' => 'wee'],
               ['name' => 'doo']
     ]
]);

debug($results) from *beforeSave *yields:

array(
'NullParent' => array(
'name' => 'wee'
),
'NullChild' => array(
(int) 0 => array(
'NullChild' => array(
'name' => 'wee'
)
),
(int) 1 => array(
'NullChild' => array(
'name' => 'doo'
)
)
)
)

Why is it AssocModel.{n}.AssocModel.id format here? It's just a simple, 
non-deep, hasMany associated save.

I know I'm mixing beforeSave with afterFind now, but it's really confusing. 
I've been using cake for many years now and I feel really frustrated not 
being able to grasp these conventions regarding Models=>callbacks=>array 
formats. It makes writing fat models a real pain.
