Comment (by László Károlyi):

 Update:

 It seems I managed to consistently insert the needed data into the DB
 before it gets cloned by subclassing the testrunner and running checks
 before `setup_databases()` runs. But that brought another problem I
 discovered, and which maybe could be fixed.

 So the first part I'm doing at startup is, I update my own permission
 models, which subclass the original django `Permission` model. Formerly, I
 had a function that would give a `ContentType` model of
 `django.contrib.auth`:
 {{{#!python
 def _get_perm_contenttype(app_label: str, model_name: str):
     """
     Return a `ContentType`.
     """
     from django.contrib.contenttypes.models import ContentType
     return ContentType.objects.get_for_model(
         apps.get_model(app_label=app_label, model_name=model_name))
 }}}

 Because `ContentType.objects.get_for_model()` caches, and because the
 nature of the parallel testing, that cached result sometimes brought
 models with wrong `ID`s, and I got constraint violations because no such
 IDs existed in my DB.

 I fixed my code by not using `get_for_model()`, and using `get()` instead.
 I'm just leaving this information here for your consideration.
