I've already got:

Event HABTM Guest
Event hasMany EventGuest
EventGuest belongsTo Event, Guest
Guest hasMany EventGuest
Guest HABTM Event ('with' => 'EventGuest')

But I think the reason why the EventGuest data is ignored is that
there's no EventGuest.id in the array. I was assuming that, if there's
a 'with' param in the HABTM array, and *that* model's data is present
in the data array, Cake would save that, along with the FK's from the
joined models.

Oh, well. I ended up doing:

if (!empty($this->data))
{
        $event_id = $this->data['Event']['id'];

        if ($this->Event->EventGuest->Guest->save($this->data))
        {
                $guest_id = $this->Event->EventGuest->Guest->getInsertID();

                $event_guest_id = $this->Event->EventGuest->field(
                        'id',
                        array(
                                'EventGuest.event_id' => $event_id,
                                'EventGuest.guest_id' => $guest_id
                        )
                );

                $this->data['EventGuest']['id'] = $event_guest_id;
                $this->data['EventGuest']['guest_id'] = $guest_id;

                $this->Event->EventGuest->save($this->data);
