Yeah, I just looked at the code for ARD and this is the problem.  You
can pass in immutable objects and they don't get affected for obvious
reasons.  But with a mutable object like an array, you need to pass it
a lambda so that it's creating a new instance each time.

That makes a lot of sense.

The active_record_defaults README[1] shows strings being used for default values. The problem that I experienced in this thread will plague the README's example if a non-assignment operation is performed on the attribute.

Thanks again, Pat, David, and Zach!
