It seems like it's reasonable for the "save" operation to return a Deferred,
since it's running in a thread anyway.  The behavior may be different, but the
interface would be the same.  Could the difference in behavior from the
interface standpoint be fixed by adding a "serial" hint to the "dbKeyColumns"
attribute?
