I would go for an approach where all queries in marked-for-rollback block 
are prevented. See https://github.com/akaariai/django/compare/ticket_21134

Note that this is the test case I am complaining about:

r1 = Reporter.objects.create(first_name='foo', last_name='bar')  with 
transaction.atomic():       
r2 = Reporter(first_name='foo', last_name='bar2', id=r1.id)       try:          
 
r2.save(force_insert=True)       except IntegrityError:          
r2.save(force_update=True)      
self.assertEqual(Reporter.objects.get(pk=r1.pk).last_name, 'bar2')

The last assert currently fails. There is no explicit use of 
savepoint=False. It is reasonable to expect that the code succeeds on 
databases that allow this coding pattern. So, as is, this API is bad.
  
  If running read-only queries in marked-for-rollback blocks is absolutely 
wanted, then lets just switch model.save() and other similar ORM operations 
to use real savepoints. This is expensive for some use cases, but adding a 
flag to avoid that cost can be done later on. The tx API is harder to 
change after 1.6 release.
