New description:

 Consider the following models:

 {{{
 class Pet(models.Model):
     id = models.UUIDField(primary_key=True, default=uuid.uuid4,
 editable=False)
     name = models.CharField(max_length=20)


 class Toy(models.Model):
     pet = models.ForeignKey(Pet, models.CASCADE, related_name="toys")
     name = models.CharField(max_length=20)
 }}}
 The following works and caches the deferred {{{pet}}} instance as
 expected:
 {{{
 pet = Pet.objects.create(name="Fifi")
 toy_bone = Toy(pet_id=str(pet.id), name="Bone")
 print(toy_bone.pet)
 }}}
 It fails if {{{prefetch_related_objects}}} is used:
 {{{
 pet = Pet.objects.create(name="Fifi")
 toy_bone = Toy(pet_id=str(pet.id), name="Bone")
 prefetch_related_objects([toy_bone], "pet")
 print(toy_bone.pet)
 }}}
 {{{
     raise self.RelatedObjectDoesNotExist(
     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 prefetch_related.models.Toy.pet.RelatedObjectDoesNotExist: Toy has no pet.
 }}}
 The behaviour is inconsistent as str to UUID conversion is automatically
 performed in the first example.

 One may argue that the use of {{{prefetch_related_objects}}} is redundant
 in this case. However, it is useful in async code where deferred lookups
 are not automatic.
