I was able to get around the problem by converting the row to a dictionary.
>>> import copy
>>> db.define_table('test_table', db.Field('test_field', 'date'), migrate=True)
>>> db.test_table.insert(test_field='2010-12-20')
1
>>> row = db(db.test_table.id==1).select()[0]
>>> row_copy = copy.copy(row.as_dict())
