Well, I kept hacking at it and changing the describe() method from this:

   // get a description of a table
   function describe($table)
   {
       $db = $this->db;
      
       $q = $db->prepare("SELECT * FROM $table LIMIT 0");
       $result = $db->execute($q);
      
       foreach ($result->tableInfo() as $c)
           $this->columns[$c['name']] = NULL;
   }

to this:

   // get a description of a table
   function describe($table)
   {
       $db = $this->db;
       $columns = array();
         
       $q = $db->prepare("SELECT * FROM $table LIMIT 0");
       $result = $db->execute($q);
      
       foreach ($result->tableInfo() as $c)
           $columns[$c['name']] = NULL;
          
       $this->columns = $columns;
   }
  

seems to fix it.  I can't see any reason why other than what appears to 
be general PHP brokenness. 
If anyone has a rational explanation as to why this is so I'd be 
grateful to hear it.

Regards,
Cliff
