Line 864 of DBIx/Class/Row.pm is here:

sub set_column {
  my ($self, $column, $new_value) = @_;

  # if we can't get an ident condition on first try - mark the object
as unidentifiable
  # (by using an empty hashref) and store the error for further diag
  unless ($self->{_orig_ident}) {  # *** line 864 ***
    try {
      $self->{_orig_ident} = $self->ident_condition
    }
    catch {
      $self->{_orig_ident_failreason} = $_;
      $self->{_orig_ident} = {};
    };
  }

  ...

set_column() is being called on the name of your class, rather than an
object of the class.  However, I'm not sure why set_column() would
even be called during the schema creation process...

Are there any calls to set_column() in
QD1x/Schema/Result/EntryAttribute.pm, perhaps as
__PACKAGE__->set_column(...)?
