Have a poke around in django/core/management.py in the _get_sql_model_create() function and see if you can work out why we're getting this wrong. The fact that the generated SQL has a "...REFERENCES ..." clause on the problem line, rather than trying an "ALTER TABLE..." statement later (out of _get_sql_for_pending_references()) means that the code thinks that table has already been created. We try hard not to do that. So I suspect this is a silly bug somewhere and it might be easy to fix if you drop in a few print statements and have an already failing example. I didn't know we allowed wildcards there (although it makes sense that it would work, whether intended or not), but the output is close to correct, so it might easy enough to work out what is going wrong.
