Comment:

 You could do a check in model.base_save(): connection.validate_pk(val),
 which should just raise an exception if the backend doesn't work with the
 given value. So, if you try to save a model with id=0, you would get an
 exception on MySQL on 0-valued PK value, and otherwise things would work
 as expected. This change should be simple to implement and safe to use. I
 don't think backwards compatibility for MySQL 0-valued PKs is worth
 worrying about: the current behavior can be considered a bug.

 Another option is to just skip this issue by saying this is a bug in
 MySQL, not in Django. But as in this case it is pretty easy to prevent the
 confusing behavior, then why not?
