I'll answer some of my own questions.

GenericIPAddressField isn't intended to represent a CIDR address, which I
guess is what I'm trying to put into it.

There is stuff like this:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-netfields/0.2.1

I am still slightly confused as to why validation doesn't occur on the
model level, though.

I got thrown by a different part of this app using GenericIPAddressField
for a CIDR-value, which is working fine because it's never passed through
a form.
