Comment:

 > Either way though, the bug I am reporting is that when returning a
 django queryset, via a custom field with a pre_save, it raises an
 AttributeError. Since these are all normal Django objects, and I'm using
 documented django approaches, I see this as a bug.

 Your custom field implementation is quite complicated. Custom fields with
 `pre_save()` works properly because you can treat any Django's field as a
 custom field e.g. `DateField`. It seems (but it is hard to tell without
 `pre_save_func()`) that in your case `pre_save()` returns `Query` which is
 not expected by `SQLInsertCompiler.prepare_value()`, that's why IMO it is
 an issue in your implementation/approach.

 > Since these are all normal Django objects.

 You cannot assume that Django internals will handle everything, even if
 these objects are defined by Django.

 I think that `return self.get_db_prep_value(value)` in `pre_save()` in
 branch with `pre_save_func()` should fix your issue.
