[Dbix-class] surprise with find_or_create

I've got a simple table schema:

package Artist;

use base qw/DBIx::Class/;

__PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/PK::Auto Core/);
__PACKAGE__->table('artist');
__PACKAGE__->add_columns(qw/ artistid name /);
__PACKAGE__->set_primary_key('artistid');

and I'm trying to copy an old database over.
I've got duplicates that differ a bit, which I'd like to unify.

So I tried the following:

my $rs = $db->resultset('Artist');

$rs->find_or_create({
	name => {like => $oldname} });

the result is surprising: the new records end up having a HASH instead
of the old names...

I'm probably expecting too much magic from DBIx::Class...
