it may be a honeypot. I sometimes set up a bogus form under /admin/ which logs attempts. adrian holovaty on the other hand, redirects /admin/ to django docs http://www.holovaty.com/writing/admin-easter-egg/

Given that they don't seem to have any automatic tests or similar for their APIs (check out their Google group and you'll see that stuff have been broken for a long time for all users without attention. When stuff has been broken in the past, Instagram people will ask "is this still a problem?", like they have no way of checking their own APIs...), I wouldn't expect them to be that crafty.
