How to make a Django fixture for a model with no fields?

If I have a Django model, with some field(s) defined:

# model.py

from django.db import models


class Model(models.Model):
    text = models.CharField(max_length=10)

I can initialize it by using a fixture:

# sample.yaml

- model: app.Model
  pk: 1
  fields:
    text: "some text"

with the command: manage.py loaddata sample.yaml and everything works fine.

My problem is that I cannot do the same for a model with no fields:

# model.py

from django.db import models


class Model(models.Model):
    pass

# sample.yaml

- model: app.Model
  pk: 1
  fields:

Then the same manage.py loaddata sample.yaml command gives an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/core/serializers/pyyaml.py", line 73, in Deserializer
   yield from PythonDeserializer(yaml.load(stream, Loader=SafeLoader), **options)

   for (field_name, field_value) in d["fields"].items():
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'items'

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

   Traceback (most recent call last):

       raise DeserializationError() from exc

I also tried without specifying fields at all:

# sample.yaml

- model: app.Model
  pk: 1

and I get a similar but different error:

   yield from PythonDeserializer(yaml.load(stream, Loader=SafeLoader), **options)

YAML works pretty much the same way as JSON does, so we can simply specify fields to be an empty dictionary:

# sample.yaml

- model: app.Model
  pk: 1
  fields: {}
