Comment (by evax):
There is a fix for this issue in the upcoming MySQLdb-python release
(https://github.com/farcepest/MySQLdb1/tree/utf8mb4)
This should be used in together with the appropriate OPTIONS in the
database config:
{{{
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'OPTIONS': {'charset': 'utf8mb4'},
(...)
}}}
