Comment:
It's not clear to me how we would fix this. How or why would a pickled
object's `__setstate__` throw an exception? In
`django.contrib.sessions.backends.base.SessionBase.decode` there's a
`try/except` which catches all exceptions with the following comment:
"ValueError, SuspiciousOperation, deserialization exceptions. If any of
these happen, just return an empty dictionary (an empty session)."
