I wonder if this is an unfortunate naming clash?
When running from the interactive prompt (including during doctest
runs), the variable '_' is used to store the most recent result. This
clashes with Django's internal use of _ as the name of a function. The
problem here is that instead of requiring _() to be aliased inside each
model, it was decided to stick this function into __builtins__. I wasn't
completely thrilled with that at the time, mostly for non-specific
reasons, and now we might have a reason to be concerned.
Needs more investigation to confirm if this is the case. Ine test would
be to explicitly import gettext() as _() in your test file, since that
would introduce different aliasing rules for the two cases, I believe.
