Readme Persistence example differs from actual behaviour

[eocarragain]

When following the README in irb, the output I get differs from the documentation. Specifically, the Person-related triples are persisted to :default rather than :people

Output (c.f. README)

# Registers in-memory repositories. Other implementations of
# RDF::Repository support persistence to (e.g.) triplestores & NoSQL
# databases.
ActiveTriples::Repositories.add_repository :default, RDF::Repository.new
ActiveTriples::Repositories.add_repository :people, RDF::Repository.new

class Person
  include  ActiveTriples::RDFSource
  configure :type => RDF::FOAF.Person, :base_uri => 'http://example.org/people#', :repository => :people
  property :name, :predicate => RDF::FOAF.name
end

class Thing
  include  ActiveTriples::RDFSource
  configure :type => RDF::OWL.Thing, :base_uri => 'http://example.org/things#', :repository => :default
  property :title, :predicate => RDF::DC.title
  property :description, :predicate => RDF::DC.description
  property :creator, :predicate => RDF::DC.creator, :class_name => 'Person'
end

t = Thing.new('1')
t.title = 'A Thing'
t.creator = Person.new('1')
t.persisted? # => false
t.creator.first.name = 'Tove'
t.persist!

ActiveTriples::Repositories.repositories[:default].dump :ntriples
# => "<http://example.org/things#1> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#Thing> .\n<http://example.org/things#1> <http://purl.org/dc/terms/title> \"A Thing\" .\n<http://example.org/things#1> <http://purl.org/dc/terms/creator> <http://example.org/people#1> .\n<http://example.org/people#1> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Person> .\n<http://example.org/people#1> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name> \"Tove\" .\n"

t.creator.first.persisted? # => true
t.creator.first.persist! # => true

ActiveTriples::Repositories.repositories[:people].dump :ntriples
# => ""

If i create and persist a Person instance without associating it with a Thing instance, it works as expected:

p2 = Person.new("2")
# => #<Person:0x4997b6e(#<Person:0x932f6dc>)> 
p2.name ="Nom"
# => "Nom" 
p2.persisted?
# => false 
ActiveTriples::Repositories.repositories[:people].dump :ntriples
# => "" 
p2.persist!
# => true 
p2.persisted?
# => true 
ActiveTriples::Repositories.repositories[:people].dump :ntriples
# => "<http://example.org/people#2> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Person> .\n<http://example.org/people#2> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name> \"Nom\" .\n"
