I'm a bit stumped by this - I've just checked an app I'm working on
just now, and it does exactly what you're wanting it to do.
I checked the code for create(), and it effectively just does: $row=
new_result({}); update($row); - which is what you're doing manually.

Can you send your form config and DBIC resultset class files for
Author and Address?
