in thread $object->UnrelatedPackage::some_subroutine()

The error message is wrong (in version 5.6.1), but the feature works perfectly well if you call a method that really exists:
perl -e 'package Pkg; sub Meth{print "hello\n"} package main; Lie->Pkg +::Meth'
hello

    The root cause was probably my previous misunderstanding at how Apache::DBI and DBI are related. I didn't look at the failure much after producing the above test case because the work-arounds were too easy.

    Thanks.
