Maybe database connections aren't closing properly? Don't know where to start looking though.
A few weeks ago, I saw something similar (more Django and postgresql processes than usual, not doing anything special), but it hasn't happened since. Thinking about it, it happened when I was reindexing/updating my Whoosh database. Maybe check open pipes or sockets for the Django processes? Or any other open resources for those processes? I didn't really bother to investigate when it happened for me as it hasn't happened since, but seeing as it is reproducible for you, those are the things I'd take a look at first.
