Yes, but not "out of the box". I've responded on the SO thread; but the
short answer is that you need to override get_changeform_initial_data() in
your ModelAdmin class.

Not necessarily. It's only a bug if, when *using the APIs as documented*, a
user is able to generate a server error by providing faulty GET arguments.
Taking the extreme case of the argument - if you write a view that
knowingly does divide by zero, it's not a bug in Django that the user is
able to generate a 500 by visiting that view. In your case, the argument is
much more subtle, but you still have code that is "wrong", and as a result,
it's raising a 500.
