Rails - Mar 2008 - add_multiple_associated_save_callbacks and validates_associated conflict?

Perhaps I''m misunderstanding what''s happening here, but
I''m having a
problem with not being able to disable the validation of an associated
collection if that collection contains a new record.  Example...

class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
     has_many :email_addresses
     validates_associated :email_addresses, :if => Proc.new { false }
end

p = Person.new
p.email_addresses.build
p.save (will return false and give you a validation error on
email_addresses)

There''s a validation set up by add_multiple_associated_save_callbacks
in ActiveRecord::Associations::ClassMethods that sends
''valid?'' to any
new records in the collection, which pretty much negates the
usefulness of having validates_associated accept if and unless
parameters in the first place.

If anyone else has run into this, I''d like to see whatever workarounds
you''ve come up with.
