Root cause (netbox/ipam/forms.py):

    def save(self, *args, **kwargs):

        # Set interface
        if self.cleaned_data['device'] and self.cleaned_data['interface_name']:
            self.instance.interface = Interface.objects.get(
                device=self.cleaned_data['device'],
                name=self.cleaned_data['interface_name']
            )
        elif self.cleaned_data['virtual_machine'] and self.cleaned_data['interface_name']:
            self.instance.interface = Interface.objects.get(
                virtual_machine=self.cleaned_data['virtual_machine'],
