This is already in the docs for HTML-FormFu-Model-DBIC

To ensure your column's inflators and deflators are called, we have to
get / set values using their named methods, and not with C<get_column> /
C<set_column>.

Because of this, beware of having column names which clash with DBIx::Class
built-in method-names, such as C<delete>. - It will have obviously
undesirable results!

This isn't really specific to FormFu - it's a general DBIC issue.
