Description
In settings, there is the parameter TEST_DATABASE_CHARSET, which should be used to define default character set for test database. IMHO it should be highlighted in the Chapter "Contributing to Django".

settings.TEST_DATABASE_CHARSET=UTF8

Charset and collation of default MySQL 5.x installation is LATIN1 and LATIN1_SWEDISH_CI. If charset UTF8 is not specified for Django tests, then custom_pk and serializers test fail.
See attached files no-test-db-settings-result.txt (under default conditions) and utf8-test-db-settings-result.txt (having specified in settings.TEST_DATABASE_CHARSET=UTF8 - all UTF8 related errors has disappeared). Tested with InnoDB engine on MySQL 5.0.37-community-nt.

I wonder which tests are failing. Can you provide some error messages?
