actually, what it does is force the tied variable to be converted to scalar
context before it's passed to DBI's quote subroutine. apparently, quote
doesn't play nicely with tied scalars, but it works just fine (no surprise)
with non-magic scalars.

why don't you write up an RT ticket on CPAN, or mail the dbi mailing list
with the details. i'm sure they'll appreciate a small test recreating the
behavior.
