@jonasbn, @oliwel, this code:

perl-workflow/lib/Workflow/Factory.pm

Lines 350 to 359 in 3c567f7

if ( $state->autorun ) {
my $state_name = $state->state;
$self->log->info( "State '$state_name' marked to be run ",
"automatically; executing that state/action..." );
$wf->_auto_execute_state($state);
}
$self->associate_observers_with_workflow($wf);
$self->_associate_transaction_observer_with_workflow($wf, $persister);
$wf->notify_observers('create');

seems to run actions before associating observers. It has done so forever, but still, it seems broken to run any actions before observers are attached, because how are observers to know about the state changes in the workflow if they're not allowed to observe?
