This has nothing to do with the use of assertRaises. Creating a model
programmatically does *not* call clean(), as clearly specified in the
documentation
(http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/ref/validators/#how-validators-are-run):
"Note that validators will not be run automatically when you save a model".
In order to test model validation, you should create the model instance and
then call instance.full_clean() on it.
