This is because `gettext` returns an unicode string, but `gettext_lazy` is defined as:
{{{
gettext_lazy = lazy(gettext, str)
}}}


{{{
>>> from django.utils.translation import gettext
>>> from django.utils.functional import lazy
>>> gettext(""test"")
u'test'
>>> gettext_lazy = lazy(gettext, unicode)
>>> gettext_lazy(""test"")
<django.utils.functional.__proxy__ object at 0x975cfec>
>>> _.upper()
u'TEST'
