Ah, yes, that's the problem. I assumed that all the generated fixtures would be empty but I see now that Rails created some test data. And this data was from when I originally generated my models (since changed).
And I see now that, according to my Rails Unit Testing Guide: "Rails by default automatically loads all fixtures from the test/fixtures folder for your unit and functional test" So I see it was trying to populate the db with the old table.
