Error with GenericRelation applied to a subclass

[jordanreiter@…]

I noticed this when using the django-threadedcomments app and trying to add a GenericRelation pointing to the ThreadedComment model. I would assume this holds true for any model that subclasses a model with generic foreign keys.

class Discussion(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=100, help_text='Enter a descriptive title for this discussion.')
    content = models.TextField(null=True, blank=True)
    date = models.DateTimeField()
    comments = generic.GenericRelation(ThreadedComment)

And then

>>> Discussion.objects.filter(comments__isnull=False)
Traceback (most recent call last):
