Error creating nested query with GeoDjango's spatial filters

[jpk]

With the following models:

from django.contrib.gis.db import models

class Spot(models.Model):
    objects = models.GeoManager()
    location = models.PointField(srid=4326, spatial_index=True)

    def __unicode__(self):
        return "id: %s" % self.id

class Property(models.Model):
    objects = models.GeoManager()
    spot = models.ForeignKey(Spot)

    def __unicode__(self):
        return "belonging to Spot %s" % self.spot_id

And using, for example, the following filters:

spots = Spot.objects.filter(location__contained=Polygon(( (-180,90),(180,90),(180,0),(-180,0),(-180,90)  )) )
props = Property.objects.filter(spot__in=spots)

And trying to iterate over props, causes the following error:

>>> for p in props:
...     print p
...

A full paste of me reproducing the error in the python shell here: ​http://pastebin.com/fBySTUD0 I also have a little test project I used to reproduce this. I can post it somewhere if needed.

Doing the same thing without using a spatial filter works fine. Being new to django, I assumed I was doing something wrong, but after a conversation in the #geodjango channel, it was concluded that this is probably a bug in the ORM. There's a paste of that conversation here: ​http://pastebin.com/bwZYVa6j

Yes, given the traceback, it's probably a bug.

I guess this is a duplicate of #13670 which has been fixed in 1.4. Please reopen if you can reproduce it with 1.4.
