Hmmm still not able to reproduce it. Generated the rails project from my local rails code, updated the gemfile to point rails to my path, kept sqlite3, did a quick `bundle exec rails g model Book title:string`, popped open the console, added 6 books with titles, and did `Book.offset(3).second` and got the following:

```sql
  Book Load (0.1ms)  SELECT  "books".* FROM "books"   ORDER BY "books"."id" ASC LIMIT 1 OFFSET 4
 => #<Book id: 5, title: "The Fifth", created_at: "2014-01-20 21:19:06", updated_at: "2014-01-20 21:19:06"> 
```

Can you create a quick AR executable test case? I'm trying to do the same but I can't get it to fail...
