If you have a choices list of ((0, 'label'),) set to a charfield though
1.5 you would get a validation error that looked like:
{{{Value u'0' is not a valid choice.}}}
Currently you get a validation error of:
{{{Select a valid choice. 0 is not one of the available choices.}}}
This is less helpful as the displayed error does not indicate the type.
The user generally doesn't know about the value part of choices, so this
was always confusing to users - but that part is not new and is not
related to this regression.
