It's set during test database creation by create_test_db in
django/db/backends/creation.py.  I'm not familiar with nosetests but I guess
it does not use this routine?  The implementation in creation.py tests to
see whether a call to rollback actually has the effect of rolling back an
uncommitted insert.  It's not pretty but I didn't know how else to test it,
since rollback on MySQL/MyISAM for instance, doesn't raise an error but just
doesn't have any effect.
