I am not sure if I am answering your question... But here is a dirty
hack to try:
qs = SomeModel.objects.all()
qs.model = SomeModelProxy
print list(qs)

You should get proxy model instances from the queryset.

Now, I just quickly tested this a minute ago, and it seems to work in
a very simple cases. The above uses internals of Django's ORM in a way
it was not designed to be used. So mandatory warnings: If anything
breaks, though luck. A minor version upgrade could break your code
without any notice.

So, in the m2m case I guess I would create a property:
class SomeModel:
     foos = M2M(Foo)

     def _foo1s(self):
           qs = self.foos.all()
           qs.model = Foo1
           return qs
     foo1s = property(_foo1s)

The above might just work. Or not. Once again, be very cautious if you
use any of the above.
