Comment (by gchp):
The problem appears to be with
{{{django.test.testcases.LiveServerTestCase}}} which inherits from
{{{TransactionTestCase}}}. Changing this class to inherit from
{{{TestCase}} seems to solve the issue, though I'm not sure if this is
ideal. The docstring on LiveServerTestCase mentions a reason as to why it
doesn't inherit from TestCase:
> Note that it inherits from TransactionTestCase instead of TestCase
because
> the threads do not share the same transactions (unless if using in-
memory
> sqlite) and each thread needs to commit all their transactions so that
the
> other thread can see the changes.
I'm not sure how true this is, as when changing LiveServerTestCase to
inherit from TestCase, the issue is fixed and there are no failing tests.
Not sure whether this means the above statement is no longer true, or
whether there simply are not enough tests to prove it.
