objects = GeoManager() in abstract class fails in subclasses

[anonymous]

The following class definition produces a subclass without a working objects property.

class FeatureBase(models.Model):
    feature_id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)

    objects = django.contrib.gis.db.models.GeoManager()

    class Meta:
        abstract = True

class LoadFeature(FeatureBase):

    class Meta:
        db_table = 'load_features'

A simple test (notice no query is actually executed by LoadFeature.objects.all():

from django.db import connection
from nbd.loading.models import LoadFeature
LoadFeature.objects.all()
print connection.queries

This can be fixed by adding objects = django.contrib.gis.db.models.GeoManager() to the subclass. This seems to be a bug, or a critical gap in the documentation.

I am not sure of GeoDjango stuff and if I am not wrong this looks similar t #7154. At the current moment abstract models don't allow custom managers.
