The correct way to make upload_to dynamic is to make it a callable:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/fields/#filefield
That way your code will be called to provide the path at the right time.
What you are doing now apparently results in your changing the field's
upload_to value after the object you are currently saving has already been
uploaded to the previous upload_to value.
