Comment:

 The reasoning in the description seems valid. I guess the error is the
 garbage collector tries to collect the cursor while another thread is
 doing some work. Seems like some backend libraries do not like that. I
 haven't actually tested this, but in any case closing cursors explicitly
 is recommended, and we should do it.

 It would be great if you could provide a self-contained test case. Of
 course, having a test in Django's test suite would be perfect, but seems
 hard to achieve.
