Comment (by anubhav9042):

 I have found out some things regarding the failure of tests, and it is due
 to inherited models.

 In case of `admin_inline` test(look into
 
https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/tests/admin_inlines/tests.py#L191):

 the Extraterrestrial object is never assigned a `pk`, this failure of
 tests is not due to the fix of #10811 but there is some other problem
 because a similar test(see
 https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/tests/admin_inlines/tests.py#L65)
 works fine.

 If you look at models, there is:

 {{{
 class Lifeform():
      pass
 class ExtraTe...(Lifeform):
      pass
 class Sighting():
      some_fk = ExtraTerr...
 }}}

 In database instead of `id` in ExtraTerrestrial there is a field
 `lifeform_ptr_id`, which never gets a value. I have tried out printing out
 `id` of the ET object before and after save is called but it comes out
 `None`. So the problem lies there.
