belongs_to + :inverse_of + accepts_nested_attributes_for causes stack overflow on save

Hello, i have just submitted a bug report, but maybe anybody has some experience with this problem?

Here are the steps to reproduce the error:

Create an application with 2 models:

$ rails new assoc_test_app $ cd assoc_test_app $ rails generate model Person name:string $ rails generate model Member person_id:integer $ rake db:migrate

Set up an association:

  class Member < ActiveRecord::Base     belongs_to :person, :inverse_of => :member     accepts_nested_attributes_for :person   end

  class Person < ActiveRecord::Base     has_one :member   end

Now, in concole (rails c) do:

  m = Member.new   m.build_person(:name => 'John2')   m.person.save

This produces "SystemStackError: stack level too deep".

Without :inverse_of it works fine.

Is there a reason not to use :inverse_of with accepts_nested_attributes_for, or is it just a bug?

Thanks.

Alexey.
