My experience, and the experience of the extensive test suite inside Django, is that this isn't the case. Part of the Django test suite is a set of round-trip tests - tests that check that a serialized object can be deserialized, and serialized again to the same result. That isn't to say that the serialization code is flawless - I would be exceedingly foolish to claim it was. However, the existence of round-trip tests highlights that you _should_ be able to do a round-trip on fixtures, there are extensive demonstrations that it _does_ work for many cases, and any failures in a round-trip is a bug that should be reported and fixed.
