Yeah, because it's not sure that $product doesn't already exist in the
database with an existing set of prices, so the actual list of prices
is still unknown. (It's keeping the list of prices-to-add off to the
side, awaiting save().)
To make it sure that there are really no other prices, you either have
to fetch them from the db (which requires defined values for the local
columns that participate in the "prices" one-to-many relationship) or
you have to set them. (Even setting to an empty list [] would work.)
Of course, the setting option gets you right back to where you
started, so that's no good :)

Why not fiddle with the prices objects *before* passing them to add_prices()?

I'm open to suggestions. Can anyone think of a good way to make this
work without breaking some existing functionality?
