set_autocommit got an unexpected keyword argument 'force_begin_transaction_with_broken_autocommit'

Question

I've just upgraded to Django 1.9, and I'm getting this error, which seems to exist entirely inside the django stack, when I run tests.

Ah ha! This is the error you get if you upgrade to Django 1.9 while using django-transaction-hooks and leave the transaction-hooks engine set up in settings.
