As documented:
limit_choices_to has no effect when used on a ManyToManyField with a custom intermediate table specified using the through parameter.
ManyToManyField._check_ignored_options seems like the perfect place to add this check.

Replying to andersonresende:
What should be the warning message?
Have a look at the other messages in ManyToManyField._check_ignored_options.
Something along the line of limit_choices_to has no effect on ManyToManyField with an explicit intermediary model. should do?
