AttributeError when replying to message after issue was committed

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

This problem occurred in the Rietveld instance for the Python bug tracker.

1. I typed in a reply to this message:

http://bugs.python.org/review/15510/#ps5944

2. The corresponding issue was committed/closed in the Python bug tracker.

3. I clicked reply to save/send my message.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expected that the reply would be saved and sent.  However, I got the error 
below instead.  Moreover, when I clicked the "back" button, the contents of my 
reply were lost.  I'm marking this "High" because someone can lose the message 
they spent time typing up because of this error.  If clicking "back" restored 
the reply contents, the issue would not be as serious.

It is possible that this error occurred because the corresponding issue in the 
Python tracker was resolved between the time the user started replying and 
clicking "reply".  The issue was closed/committed between the time that I 
started typing the reply and hit "reply".  Otherwise, I don't know what special 
circumstances might have caused the issue.

This issue might relate to gae2django and not Rietveld itself. I'll have a look 
at it.

Maybe. But since the None object in question seems to be in_replace_to I'd 
first look at gae2django. AFAIK MvL did only changes to the authentication 
system. But I'll contact him when in doubt.

I encountered this issue again.  It doesn't seem to be related to whether the 
issue was closed.

Also, the issue occurs even if I open a new tab in Chrome to the same URL and 
try replying again.

I experienced this again and was unable to post a reply after several attempts. 
 I also lost my reply text the first time it happened because it was gone when 
I hit "back" in the browser.
