Comment:

 Thanks for the report. I was able to reproduce this issue.

 > This assumption looks weird to me: why only when there IS a default pk
 you can skip update?

 This is an optimization to skip `UPDATE` when inherited primary key has a
 default (see babd4126853e48594b61e8db71a83d7bdd929b9c and #29129).

 > Why not just skip update as long as we know we are inserting? (via
 self._state.adding)

 As far as I'm aware, this would be contrary to the currently
 [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/ref/models/instances/#how-django-
 knows-to-update-vs-insert documented] process.

 > I think the solution is to simply move the check to save_base. And don't
 do this check in _save_parents.

 This breaks optimization added in
 babd4126853e48594b61e8db71a83d7bdd929b9c, see
 `basic.tests.ModelInstanceCreationTests.test_save_parent_primary_with_default`.

 > Is this project completely community supported?

 Yes.

 > Is there a project lead I can discuss with to confirm my suspicion?
 Thank you.

 No, we don't have a project lead. You can join the DevelopersMailingList
 and share your ideas. You can also interact on the
 [https://forum.djangoproject.com/ Django forum] and the #django-dev IRC
 channel.
