23718	TEST_MIRROR setting doesn't work as expected (and has no tests)	Ilya Baryshev	Sarah Boyce	"TEST_MIRROR promises ""connection to slave will be redirected to point at default. As a result, writes to default will appear on slave""
I've set up a minimum django project (using postgres backed) to demonstrate behavior.

{{{

    def test_fixture(self):
        MyModel.objects.using('default').create(name=1)
        MyModel.objects.using('slave').create(name=2)
        MyModel.objects.using('slave').create(name=3)
        self.assertEqual(list(map(repr, MyModel.objects.using('default').all())),
                         list(map(repr, MyModel.objects.using('slave').all())))
}}}

Both lists should be equal, because replica queries should be hitting default instead.
It appears not to be the case for Django>=1.4 up to latest 1.7.1 (but actually passes against 1.3.7)
