Note please that there's more M:N's in that application, and other ones work 
all right (although, as outlined below, their changes never occur in the 
DatabaseContextDelegate.databaseContextShouldUpdateCurrentSnapshot method; the 
snapshot though is all right).

As for overridden methods, let me see...

- my EO root is an OCSEnterpriseObject (which extends ERXGenericRecord), and 
overrides
-- awakeFromInsertion to set up creation date; calls super
-- validateForSave; calls super (and does not change the eo :))
-- handleQueryWithUnboundKey and handleTakeValueForUnboundKey: these do not 
call super (which is all right I think)
-- toString (does not call super either)
- DataBlock (extends OCSEnterpriseObject) does not override anything (and works 
all right with other M:N's)
- User ditto

No accessors are implemented explicitly in DataBlock or User[*].

That aside, I install a DatabaseContextDelegate. It extends 
ERXDatabaseContextDelegate, and overrides 
databaseContextWillPerformAdaptorOperations to log what is about to happen with 
the database and databaseContextFailedToFetchObject, again to log which 
object/gid did fail. None of them calls super. Temporarily I tried to override 
databaseContextShouldUpdateCurrentSnapshot to log when and how the snapshot is 
updated, but with M:N's it does not seem to work -- I have never got any M:N in 
its new dict (although most M:N's work all right and the appropriate snapshots, 
logged just-before-save, contain the proper eos).

Can I track somehow (e.g., through some delegate methods/notifications) when 
and how exactly the snapshot :N's gets updated? Looks like 
databaseContextShouldUpdateCurrentSnapshot is not the right way to do that. At 
least, my last attempt obtained all the :N names from the entity and would log 
out if any of them is either in the old or in the new dict -- but never logs 
anything (whilst attributes and :1 changes go through here all right).

Thanks and all the best,
OC

[*] There are no generated sources like _User or _DataBlock in my setup; the 
accessor methods are injected launch-time into User/DataBlock/all other EO 
classes based on model contents. In my personal opinion, this approach 
(conceptually copied down from Core Data) is much cleaner and considerably less 
error-prone than generated sources. Should not be relevant to this problem, I 
think.
