I've got a model that looks something like this:

class HeiselFoo(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=250)

    class Meta:
        """ Meta """
        app_label = "Foos"
        db_table = u"medley_heiselfoo_heiselfoo"

And whenever I run my test suite, I get an error because Django isn't creating the tables for that model.

It appears to be an interaction between app_label and db_table -- as the test suite runs normally if db_table is set, but app_label isn't.

Here's a link to the full source code: http://github.com/cmheisel/heiselfoo

Here's the traceback from the test suite:
