Comment (by patrys):
I believe I have tracked it down further:
In `django/db/backends/sqlite3/schema.py` line 234 (`_alter_many_to_many`)
we have:
{{{
override_uniques=(new_field.m2m_field_name(),
new_field.m2m_reverse_field_name())
}}}
However `new_field.m2m_field_name()` return `None`.
`new_field.m2m_field_name()` is a partial that evaluates to
`self._get_m2m_attr(related, 'name')` where `related` is a class the
relation is pointing to.
The implementation lives in `django/db/models/fields/related.py` line 2470
(`_get_m2m_attr`):
{{{
for f in self.rel.through._meta.fields:
if (f.is_relation and f.rel.to == related.related_model and
(link_field_name is None or link_field_name == f.name)):
}}}
However at this point `f.rel.to` and `related` point to two different
classes that are not considered equal. This could be caused by the fact
that the operation is an `AlterField` and it creates two states of the
affected class—one before and one after the migration—even though all of
the changes happen in a separate m2m model.
