[ver. 1.5] Specifying custom User model (extends AbstractUser) doesn't work

Django's standard User class isn't sufficient for my needs so I am making my own User class. As per the User Authentication doc page, I am subclassing AbstractUser (not AbstractBaseUser) to add some new stuff.

____

from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser

class MyUser(AbstractUser):

        test = 'Hello world'

____

Pretty simple so far. In settings.py:

____

# Specifies SDBUser as the custom User class for Django to use

AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'app.MyUser'

____

But when i try to syncdb, everything breaks:

[root@Surya project]# manage syncdb

CommandError: One or more models did not validate:

app.userprofile: 'user' defines a relation with the model 'auth.User', which has been swapped out. Update the relation to point at settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL.

auth.user: Model has been swapped out for 'app.SDBUser' which has not been installed or is abstract.

django_openid_auth.useropenid: 'user' defines a relation with the model 'auth.User', which has been swapped out. Update the relation to point at settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL.

django_openid_auth is a third party OpenID library, but the first two are pure Django and they're still breaking. Wat do?
