Comment (by czpython):
I've done a little digging on this.
The problem is that the field labels need to be resolved before rendering
the forms and so currently Django will look at the
{{{base_fields}}} attribute of the formset form class instead of creating
an instance of the form class. This means that the {{{__init__}}} method
is never called when generating the table headers and so no modifications
there will be considered.
As a solution we would create a throw away instance of the formset form
class and fetch the field from its {{{fields}}} attribute but I don't like
the idea of creating an empty form instance without the developer having a
way to modify its initialization arguments.
I've attached a path for the suggested solution.
