For Django 1.6: new test discovery plus reverse now does urlquote(). My base64 keys were padded with '=' and these got quoted when doing a reverse to generate the URL. So changed the test to look for a quoted version of the key. This will change the URLs sent to users, but I believe it will all be taken care of by Django.
