system.debug('case info before insert' + cse); insert cse;
Which "should" trigger the default Case assignment rule, which has one rule
(if case.origin = 'email') which is always going toeval to true since i manually set this when inserting it.
This does not seem to be working with API version 16. I will note that I'm trying to do this via an Apex Controller for a Visualforce page, not that it "should" matter.
Debug log seems to indicate that the assignment rule piece is being skipped. Actual behavior is thatthe case is left as assigned to the person that created it (not the default user for when assignment rule fails). I am also NOT using the standardController for Case, but rather a custom one. I don't think this should matter either (since I can still save this code to the server without error...), but adding on just in case.
I've include a test bench that illustrates the following problems:
Default values do not get assigned to the variables. They are Null when the initial page renders.
Required attributes do get properly bound to the controller's Property but cannot be updated by actions.
If we override the custom getter to ensure that its not null when returned, it initially is rendered as null but after an update is bound but does not increment as you would expect
(What works): Properties that that are only present in the controller and do not get anything assigned to them.
The following 3 source files make up the test bench: demoComponentBinding.page BuggedComponentBinding.component BuggedBindingController.cls
Code:

<h1>The following demonstrates several bugs in using the assignTo attributes with a custom component</h1>
<ol>
<li> The convention when I'm assigning values is the following: Those in the hundreds are assigned via component attributes, while those less than 100 are assigned by the controller</li>
<li>Default values do not get assigned to the variables. They are Null.</li>
<li>Required attributes do get properly bound but cannot be updated by actions.</li>
<li>If we override the custom getter to ensure that its not null when returned, it initially is rendered as null but after an update is bound but does not increment as you would expect</li>
