What happens is that the django_migrations table gets created. Creation of all other tables are discarded/reverted due to this error.

If necessary, I may be able to provide a minimal code for reproducing this issue. It's happening in five independent projects for me. I hope I'm doing something wrong here, but it may just as well be a bug."	Bug	new	Migrations	1.8rc1	Release blocker		migrations, fail, collision		Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
