Comment (by Morgan Wahl):

 Thanks for looking at this Simon.

 I should've been a bit clearer about the problem: on the instance return
 from `refresh_from_db`, *every access of the GFK attribute* produces a
 *different instance* of the related object. (I tried to show that with the
 `id(ref.obj) == id(ref.obj)` line).

 I called `refresh_from_db` just to simulate a real-world situation where
 the row backing the `ref` instance here is created at some point, and at
 some later point a new model instance is instantiated for that row.
