Comment:

 OK, yes. Your models work the same. It's the presence of the
 `related_query_name` which causes the failure. Remove it and it works,
 because (as per the docs) `related_query_name` defaults to `related_name`
 if that's set.

 At best this is a documentation cleanup/optimization **but** setting
 `related_query_name` explicitly is an much more specialised use case than
 setting `related_name`. I think the `related_query_name` docs are clear
 enough that setting it overrides the name of the reverse filter, and that
 a ''clarification'' in the `select_related()` docs would only muddy the
 water for the majority of users. (One should under the consequences before
 setting `related_query_name`.)
