Before anybody points this back to django-users, I asked Meppum to post
here. It requires some design work. Because the test framework uses a
single database connection throughout, it's not too hard to trip it up,
so we need to think about where the boundaries are and what people need
to do in their tests (plus, whether we're missing some support
internally).

I spent more than a few hours chasing a similar problem with
queryset-refactor last weekend where we now manually reset the
connection at the end of a test. Maybe that's the best that can be done,
in which case we just document it. No biggie. Maybe we can behave better
in the default case, though.
