25867	Nested ArrayField cause error in system check on 1.9	MP	Simon Charette	"Nested ArrayField generates an error during check errors in 1.9, but works on 1.8.7

Using a nested ArrayField from the docs will cause the error in 1.9:

To recreate, in a fresh project add the following models.py:

{{{#!python
from django.contrib.postgres.fields import ArrayField
from django.db import models

class Board(models.Model):
    pieces = ArrayField(ArrayField(models.IntegerField()))
}}}

When you runserver the system check fails:
