Sounds to me like your problem is that both Mezzanine and GeoNode are Django "projects", not Django "apps", and while apps are supposed to play nice together, projects aren't. That was obvious perhaps - if I had to use Mezzanine and GeoNode I'd run them side by side, and not try to merge them, but depends exactly what you're trying to do. The Django GIS apps. I've used have used OpenLayers (JavaScript) and POSTGIS directly - that approach would be compatible with Mezzanine (I've only done it with Django CMS so far). Server side raster manipulation I've done with GDAL http://pcjericks.github.io/py-gdalogr-cookbook/ I did use MapServer to feed images to OpenLayers though. Anyway, I guess all I'm saying is that if I had to get Mezzanine plus GIS working I'd be using OpenLayers etc. - but it depends on exactly what your objectives are.
