Comment:

 The same problem appears when you pass argument `id=0` to `__init__` of
 your model (in my example it's `Text`), see code below.
 {{{
 >>> t = Text(id=0, text="lorem ipsum")
 >>> t.id
 0
 >>> t.save()
 >>> i.id
 0
 >>> Text.objects.all()
 [<Text: Text object>]
 >>> Text.objects.all()[0].id
 1
 }}}

 The problem appears with `MySQL`. `sqlite3` works properly. I've not
 checked other backends.

 I think that the problem is in `django.db.models.fields.AutoField` which
 is integer (see
 https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/ref/models/fields/#autofield)
 especially it can be zero. It should works like `PositiveIntegerField` or
 something like that. Supporting `AutoField` validation can be a solution,
 but it's backward incompatible. What's more, the validation is not
 necessary for backends other than MySQL because zero is valid value for
 `id` in most databases. We can check if `id` is not zero if the backend is
 MySQL otherwise don't validate `id`, but it makes the issue more comlex
 and it's still backward incompatible.
