Thanks for the reply Pat. I finally figured out what's going on. And I think I have a few extra gray hairs now too!
Apparently, rails migrations use a column type of "serial" in postgres for table ids. These serial fields are 4 bytes (ergo they go from 1 to 2147483647). However, loading fixtures picks random numbers like 541702176 which is much bigger than 4 bytes and which is why sphinx's indexer was flipping out. I guess the solution would be to either A) use a bigger column type or B) don't use fixtures in production (or if you must, give your fixtures an id). I hope that helps anyone else with the same problem that searches google.
