Hey Steve, I'm seeing the same thing. I've been playing around with it and the except clause in the code Sebastian referenced above is never entered even when the site 404s on a media file.
Removing the try except but leaving the other changes intact causes things to start working as well as allowing media directly in the static root to be served. Looking at https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/contrib/staticfiles/handlers.py#L46this makes sense because the super get_reponse (of MezzStaticFilesHandler) already catches the 404.
