In addition to the above (which I can confirm causes tests to fail in a new project), I also goofed up a patch related to a different set of auth tests. I've created #17848 (release blocker) to fix this. [1]
Ticket #16366 [2] required the template context processor cache to be cleared. The code resets the cache but fails to restore it. If the auth tests run first, this causes many other test failures in my project because the newly cached template context processors only include the Django defaults. The general issue of having to reset this cache (and others) is in ticket #17787 which targets a later release. [3] I'm sorry about that error and I hope it isn't too late to include the patch. I think it will cause many headaches for other people. I know we shouldn't post about tickets we write but given 1.4 is going to be released in a few days, I think it's important to bring this up.
