I've created a reproducer and a fix for this, based on the fix for 18776. It is available at ​https://github.com/SoftwareMaven/django/tree/ticket_25424.

This is my first foray into contributing to Django, so if there is anything I missed in terms of process and what-not, please let me know.

In 1a09b3c:

Fixed #25424 -- Use force_str for test client URLs.

urlparse() fails with an AttributeError ("'proxy' object has no
attribute 'decode'") if reverse_lazy is used to look up the URL
(this is exactly the same problem that caused ticket #18776). The
solution is to use force_str() on the path before handing it to
urlparse().
