This may have to do with how Hobo is going about saving the record under the hood. Unless I'm mistaken, (and I can't remember exactly which method behaves this way) but when you save an object in activerecord with an association, there is a case where the association's validation is bypassed. I thought it was mentioned in this article on new, create, and build methods in Rails: http://blog.mrbrdo.net/2009/10/27/ruby-on-rails-new-vs-create-vs-build/, but after re-reading it I couldn't find mention of this. My foggy memory is that its when you use create, so you could pop open the Hobo gem and see how the save happens, or try bypassing the Hobo save method altogether (although thats obviously not a very Hobo-idea).
Of course, I could be entirely off.
