send along a test case that includes whatever ForeignKey references to/
from ObjectType might be involved here. My initial guess might be
to lose the "constraints.copy()" section since each Column.copy() will
contain a copied ForeignKey inside of it. copy() has only been used
by the to_metadata() method up til this point.
