I agree that it should work. Django uses ContentType in the admin and user authentication, but you mention that you have removed these from INSTALLED_APPS, so I don't get it. I'd try clearing .PYC files first. Then maybe a sanity check.. double check what settings file you're actually using, and if INSTALLED_APPS contains what you expect.
