Django 2.0 introduced a fields cache for model fields which ends up being copied during a model instance copy. This results in changes to the new model instance unexpectedly affecting the original model instance (last 2 asserts in test fails). In Django 1.11 and earlier the behavior was as expected when using copy.
This is my first PR to the Django project so please point out any thing I missed whilst reading the contributor guidelines. CLA was submitted last night.
