Call to undefined function save() with fresh install of drupal [#1889436]

This takes place on Drupal 7.18:

- Fresh install of druapal
- Using drush, installed field_collection (beta-5) including dependencies (Entity version 7.x-1.0)
- Created new content type with field collection
- New field collection item with only text fields
- Cannot save node due to:

Fatal error: Call to a member function save() on a non-object in freshdrupal/sites/all/modules/field_collection/field_collection.module on line 912

This shouldn't happen with a fresh install of Drupal. Thoughts?

Update: The bug seems intermittent depending on what kinds of fields are in the content type, some content types dont throw the error.

Same bug for me.
My field collection only contains a "file" field and a "long text" field.

We're experiencing this issue too. This is just a guess, but it seems to have cropped up since Entity hit version 1.0. Could that be related?

I'm going to do more investigation today.

Actually turns out it was a problem in a hook_form_alter() I had on the field collection form. Not sure if that was the cause for other people here, but trying to add things to a field collection form can really mess things up! :)
