Hmm, again answering my own question as soon as I ask it (writing this 
stuff out is sure helpful for clarifying your thoughts), poking around 
in the AR documentation leads me to another workaround. Specify the 
classname explicitly in the model relationships, even though it really 
shouldn't be needed.

module SfxDb
  class AzTitle < SfxDbBase

      belongs_to :sfx_object,
               :class_name => "SfxDb::SfxObject"

[...]

end

That's a reasonable workaround, although it really shouldn't be 
neccesary. Anyone want to help me figure out the right way to report 
this as a bug?
