Would it make sense for the Django 404 logger to check that the
referring URL actually exists before blindly reporting it? That way
admins could choose not to receive false reports, or the report could
be rewritten to say something like "Probably bogus."

Just seems weird that Django is not using its internal awareness of
the site it's reporting on.  Or is this  not worth pursuing?
