Comment (by Simon Charette):

 Thanks!

 Something suspicious here is the usage of `F('parent__link')` which should
 be disallowed per https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/14104#comment:1.
 We don't support `JOIN`s in `UPDATE` unless I'm mistaken so I suspect the
 `JOIN`'ed `T2` table is simply get pruned by `SQLUpdateCompiler`.

 The only way to add support for such query would be to make
 `OuterRef('parent__link')` result in a `JOIN` within the subquery, notice
 how the `filter(parent__isnull=False)` predicate results in a subquery
 instead of an `INNER JOIN` like it does when `.update` is not used in
 comment:9.

 I assume we'd want do something similar for `OuterRef` that include a `__`
 so the resulting query is

 {{{#!python
 latest_parent =
 Recursive.objects.filter(link=OuterRef('parent__link')).order_by('id')
 Recursive.objects.filter(
     parent__isnull=False
 ).update(parent_id=Subquery(latest_parent.values('pk')[:1])
 }}}

 {{{#!sql
 UPDATE "recursive_model"
    SET "parent_id" = (
         SELECT U0."id"
           FROM "recursive_model" U0
          WHERE U0."link" IN (
              SELECT U1."link"
              FROM "recursive_model" U1
              WHERE U1."id" = "recursive_model"."parent_id"
          )
          ORDER BY U0."id" ASC
          LIMIT 1
        )
  WHERE "recursive_model"."id" IN (
         SELECT V0."id"
           FROM "recursive_model" V0
          INNER JOIN "recursive_model" V1
             ON (V0."parent_id" = V1."id")
          WHERE V0."parent_id" IS NOT NULL
        )
 }}}
