Well, getting a parent's column sometimes works and sometimes doesn't

During normal operation descriptors are only supposed to raise  
AttributeError (which this one does). Whether reading a field at that  
point constitutes an allowed operation depends on the documentation of  
_init. I didn't find much, but then it's a bit hard to search for ;)

This solves my problem!

I'm still not sure if SQLObject is behaving correctly, though. What's  
the point of _init if you can't access data yet?
