Sorry I never reported the error, but, of course, part of my problem
was that the error was caught by the try/except in Django code.
I did the following sequence, conceptually:
1) I had a database with books and authors.
2) I received a new feed of books.
3) I cleaned the books table without cleaning the authors table.
4) When I tried to import the first book, there was still a stale
author.
5) Instead of getting the normal integrity error, I got the red
herring savepoint error.
6) When I went back and cleaned BOTH tables, everything worked fine.

If memory serves correctly, it was this line that raised the original
error:
obj.save(force_insert=True)
Here's the code in more context:
try:
params = dict([(k, v) for k, v in kwargs.items() if
'__' not in k])
params.update(defaults)
obj = self.model(**params)
sid = transaction.savepoint()
obj.save(force_insert=True)
transaction.savepoint_commit(sid)
return obj, True
except IntegrityError, e:
transaction.savepoint_rollback(sid)
try:
return self.get(**kwargs), False
except self.model.DoesNotExist:
raise e
