The odd thing is that the following models (same structure as above, just
different names):
{{{

class Foo(models.Model):
users = models.ManyToManyField(

So somehow the naming of the models has a say in how the migrations are
made. In the failing example there is no creation of the FK from
Participant to Event as there is from Bar to Foo.

Comment:
Hi,
I can reproduce your issue with this simplified models (no reference to
`settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL`):
{{{#!python
from django.db import models
class Foo(models.Model):
pass
class Bar(models.Model):
foos = models.ManyToManyField('Foo', through='FooBar')
class FooBar(models.Model):
foo = models.ForeignKey('Foo')
bar = models.ForeignKey('Bar')
}}}
As you mentionned, renaming `FooBar` to `AFooBar` (so that it appears
before when sorting alphabetically) makes everything work.
I'll upgrade the ticket to a release blocker.
Thanks.

Comment (by andrewgodwin):
Looks like there's not enough dependency stuff set in the autodetector to
force the operation ordering. Hopefully an easy-ish fix.
