Comment:

 The `AttributeError` is not raised. This test fails as the
 `assertRaisesMessage()` call:

 {{{
 class Tests(TestCase):

     def test_attribute_error_stops_save(self):

         my_model_args = { 'worthless_field' : '2019-02-07'}
         myExceptionalModel = MyModel( **my_model_args)

         msg = "'str' object has no attribute 'isoformat'"
         with self.assertRaisesMessage(AttributeError, msg):
             myExceptionalModel.save()

         self.assertEqual(0, MyModel.objects.count())
 }}}

 Behaviour is as expected:


 {{{
 >>> myExceptionalModel.save()
 >>> myExceptionalModel.refresh_from_db()
 >>> myExceptionalModel.worthless_field
 datetime.date(2019, 2, 7)
 }}}

 Sample app with model and test case attached.
