lol. The problem was in the display, not the persistence:

<input type="text" name="task_name" value='$todo.todo_name></input>
vs
<input type="text" name="task_name" value='$todo.todo_name'></input>

I had no quotes around my value.  I jumped to the conclusion the framework 
was doing something incorrect.

Sorry for the waste of bandwidth.
