Well it's the call to column.typecast here:
http://github.com/rails/rails/tree/2-2-stable/activerecord/lib/active_record/attribute_methods.rb
Which is defined here:
http://github.com/rails/rails/tree/2-2-stable/activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/schema_definitions.rb
(but possibly overriden by individual connection adapters).
How that interacts with BaseWithoutTable I have no idea.
