Comment:
Does this only occur if the `GenericRelation` has a `related_name`
explicitly specified?
What's the purpose of specifying `related_name` on the `GenericRelation`
in that example, since a reverse manager isn't added (a reverse manager
doesn't really make sense, since you already have `content_object`; in a
sense, the `GenericRelation` *is* the reverse manager for the GFK)?
If the answers to the above two questions are "yes" and "no purpose" (I
don't have time at the moment to dig into it and see), it may be that the
real bug here is just that `GenericRelation` shouldn't accept a useless
`related_name` argument.
