Seriously, if we documented everything that wasn't possible with Django,
the documentation would be a couple of million words long. There's
nothing that says select_related() does work with reverse relations and
if people are going to make assumptions, that's their problem.

It is documented in that respect. In a couple of different Trac tickets
(since there are multiple issues: select related for reverse one-to-one,
which only isn't in 1.1-beta because I ran out of time to fix the patch,
and select-related for multi-valued relations).
