Comment:

 The first point seems to be a valid issue. In particular, after assigning
 a new parent, the `pk` attribute is updated, but not the `id`. I think
 this can be fixed but I'm not 100% sure.
 {{{
 >>> child.parent_ptr = new_parent
 >>> child.pk
 2
 >>> child.id
 1
 }}}

 As for the second issue, `QuerySet.update()` is working for me.
 {{{
 >>> child = Child.objects.create()
 >>> child_pk = child.id
 >>> new_parent = Parent.objects.create()
 >>> Child.objects.filter(id=child.pk).update(parent_ptr=new_parent)
 >>> Child.objects.get(pk=child_pk)
 ...
 DoesNotExist: Child matching query does not exist.
 }}}
 (make sense since the `Child` with the old `pk` no longer exists)
