I have no clue what's going wrong in Tempfile all of a sudden - did 
someone tamper with anything that may be involved?

ChrisZ, I fixed Term/GOterm and the tests such that setting 
attributes to an empty string amounts to setting to undef. undef 
means 'not set' or 'not known', whereas an empty string may be a 
valid value (although it can't be sensibly most of the time). Also, 
MySQL takes empty strings as valid values and subsequently raises UK 
violations.
