My workaround is to do my before_update as follows:
    before_update :incr_rev

    private
    def incr_rev
      if changed?
        self.revision = self.revision + 1
      end
    end

With this workaround, it still calls the before_update callback when I
create a new record, but doesn't actually do an update.

I'm baffled that it would be calling the before_update callback if it's
not changed, but it does.

Starting to wonder if I've found a bug.
