I'm not sure if this is something we should "fix", but there's a big gotcha when you've got data matching the name of a relationship in your model. The value in data will be returned, leaving you scratching your head about why you're not getting your relationship. This can happen when you're working with the data manually, or, perhaps more likely, when your model used to have a certain field and now it's been replaced by a relationship with the same name, but your existing database still has the old field.
