Able to reproduce using a form on submit using a simple form with two comparable fields.

Code highlighting: 

class TestForm(forms.Form):
    test_disabled = forms.CharField(disabled=True, initial='test')
    test_enabled = forms.CharField(disabled=False, initial='test')

Results of form.has_changed() and form.changed_data after the form has been submitted are:

Code highlighting: 

form.has_changed()  # True
form.changed_data  # ['test_disabled']

Working on writing a patch.

​PR

Added a check in the has_changed function of a field to see if a field is disabled and always return true.

All test pass under SQLite.
