The line that triggers the error is: [http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/django/contrib/gis/admin/options.py#L84 'geom_type' : OGRGeomType(db_field._geom), in django/contrib/gis/admin/options.py#L84] I think one of two things should happen: * 1. Either the admin defaults to showing a plain text field whenever that happens or * 2. (pony alert) we find a way to look for the _geom of the instance and not the class.
