It certainly doesn't look right; so there is a bug somewhere.
However, it might be in your code. I'm guessing from your serialized
output that your natural key is drawn from a a single string field on
your model. Is your natural_key() function defined as:
def natural_key(self):
return self.name
or as:
def natural_key(self):
return (self.name,)
The first is a string. The second is a tuple containing a single
element that is a string. Django is expecting the second form;
however, because strings are iterable objects, the first is also a
valid (albeit incorrect) natural key definition, consisting of as many
natural keys as there are letters in 'self.name'.
