It looks like some code is promoting MySQL's warnings to exceptions. django.db.backends.mysql had that behavior before Django 1.8: https://code.djangoproject.com/changeset/5bcd292098b4de7bb03ef778e24d9e2f433d0dae/
For anyone reporting this, are you using django.db.backends.mysql or some other database engine? If the latter, that backend may be at fault.
