It's a bit (for me, at least) to keep track of what structure you're describing here. You are using the word "project" to mean something that isn't clear. Could you give a small layout of the directory structure please. It's not impossible to imagine something like the problem you're describing happening depending upon import paths. Remember that when you do "from foo import models", Python first has to parse and execute the code in "foo/__init__.py", so things might not be fully constructed. But, again, it's hard to tell without concrete code. If you can construct a very small example that demonstrates the problem (like, literally, as few lines as possible. To the point that if you remove any more lines, the problem goes away) then you've got something you can put in a bug report because then other people can try to repeat the problem and diagnose it. I'm not intimately familiar with how newforms is doing imports or recommended practices over there, but if this type of problem is cropping up, it's worth knowing about it so that we can either document "don't do that" or get things fixed if possible. Again, I'm not saying that what you're seeing is a bug or necessarily a problem in Django. I don't understand the problem you're describing from the English-language version. Code speaks more clearly here, I think.
