No - this correct behaviour, as designed. Given the model:

you can query myitem.parent and myitem.item_set. However, if
parent = models.ForeignKey('self'', related_name='child')
you can query myitem.parent and myitem.child. The related_name is a user-specified replacement name for the model_set default name. Therefore, related_name should always be a plural/collection name (i.e., 'children', not 'child')

Is that an inconsistancy to be removed (ie a bug)?
