FWIW it doesn't seem odd to me. If a project doesn't use Django's built-in User model then you don't need to test it in that project's test suite. Indeed, running django.contrib.* tests within a project can fail in a variety of interesting ways. Trying to isolate them sufficiently is an endless quest. Generally speaking, I like the idea to identify various types of test. The only downside I can imagine is the risk that some categories lose meaning over time, leading to situations similar to modeltests vs. regressiontests today.
