This is by "current" design - subclassing of models is not supposed to
work yet. Here is a writeup of how it will likely work:
http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/ModelInheritance
Since this is currently not supposed to work, I would think behavior is
undefined. Thus i would suggest that you do not subclass models, even if
you can get it to work.
