No, that's a good point. You fundamentally can't give someone a forced POST request on a redirect (essentially what I was trying to do) through Django because That's Not How the Internet Works (TM).
I just made the save() function be called by an ajax request, and if there are errors, the display is handled in JS (not through another template).
