When postgres autocommit is set contenttype test cause sites tests failures

[jasonculverhouse]

It seems that the contenttype framework and the sites contribs
conflict with using the autocommit:True database option. I'm not
really sure what happens but here is a simple test case that shows
that the order of the tests causes a failure. It looks like from the
SQL that the save point is being rolled back in a new transaction, not
the transaction that the savepoint was created.

If I create a new django tests site
with

django-admin-2.6.py startproject sitecontenttypebug

Modify settings.py to use postgres autocommit

DATABASES = {
   'default': {
       'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
       ...
       'OPTIONS': {
           "autocommit": True,
       }
   }
}

The minimum required to have the django tests fail is:

python manage.py test contenttypes
sites.SitesFrameworkTests.test_get_current_site

Switching the order causes no failure

python manage.py test sites.SitesFrameworkTests.test_get_current_site
contenttypes

Stack trace from the failure
