It's -sort of- fixed. The problem is that $c->model does a prefix-based match, 
so while 'Foo' will match MyApp::Model::Foo or MyApp::M::Foo correctly, if you 
give is MyApp::Model::Foo then the exact match is looking for 
MyApp::Model::MyApp::Model::Foo et. al., which fails leaving it to fall back 
to the search.

In trunk, model/view/controller simply don't do the search at all - 
$c->$meth($name) either returns an exact match or nothing, which should result 
in an early obvious fail.
