Comment:

 Via django-developers -- this bug has the potential for inadvertant data
 loss:
 {{{
 class Through(models.Model):
     two = models.ForeignKey('Model2', to_field='spot')
     one = models.ForeignKey('Model1')

 class Model1(models.Model):
     name = models.CharField(max_length=100)

 class Model2(models.Model):
     spot = models.IntegerField(unique=True)
     ones = models.ManyToManyField(Model1, through=Through)

 # Create objects and relations
 m = Model1(name='test')
 m2 = Model2(spot=2, pk=1)
 m3 = Model2(spot=1, pk=2)
 m.save()
 m2.save()
 m3.save()
 Through(two=m2, one=m).save()
 Through(two=m3, one=m).save()

 # Both have ones
 m2.ones.all()
 m3.ones.all()

 m2.ones.clear()

 # Still has ones, didn't get deleted when it should have
 m2.ones.all()

 # This got deleted instead
 m3.ones.all()
 }}}
