I've used that a lot and never had a problem. I'd recommend stepping through the code. When you call save, you go into the save() function in django/forms/models.py, which immediatey takes you into the save_Instance() method. That code is quite straight forward. At the bottom it just looks at the value of commmit and if it is False, it doesn't do the save. Keep in mind that the objects will be updated in memory in this case - just not saved out to the db.
What makes you think that you are hitting the db when you do the refererals_formset.save(commit=False)? In any case, I think that commit=False is used a lot, so I'd walk through your own code once more ...
