Because of the custom user table name the migration isn't happening. Go to the initial migration and specify your user table using db_table in the migration where the code is trying to access your custom table. That should work.

are you using a custom user model?

if this was the case the migration code for the app implementing the user model should look like:

class Migration(SchemaMigration):
    needed_by = (
        ('oauthtoken', '0001_initial'),
    )
