actually no. if you try to mass assign a attr_protected attribute then
it just ignores it (you'll get a warning in the logs).

weird. I'd check your logs in case there's a warning in there. This
sort of thing could happen if you had accidentally overwritten an
important activerecord method (eg if you had an association called
attributes) but hard to say without seeing more. you might find out
more if you were able to reduce this to a minimal example (or work the
other way - start with a fresh rails app & model and add stuff until
it breaks)
