I've also managed to rule out the following as possible causes: the cache driver, and the use of ardent instead of eloquent as the base class. If I call the afterUpdate() method manually from an overridden save method, then the getDirty() array doesn't seem to be populated properly... Could it be a problem with serialisation into the cache? I'm starting to tear my hair out a bit here, would really appreciate your help!
Ok, I solved the problem. When objects are taken out of the cache, the boot method isn't called, so event listeners don't seem to be initialised. I put in a __wakeup method which calls boot, registers the listeners and suddenly all works fine. Maybe this should be added to eloquent?
