Cannot combine values_list querysets that do subqueries

Description

I have a query like:

qs1 = object.comments.values_list('author__email', flat=True)
qs2 = object.group.members('email', flat=True)
recipients = qs1 & qs2

Where author and members are both User objects. This tells me the fields must match to do a combine. If I override the field by doing something hacky like qs1.fields=email it tells me the base classes must match to do a combine.

I am not sure if this can be made to work easily, but if not we could document the limitation.

I think this should be wontfixed now that the ORM has support for QuerySet.intersection and friends.

Adding multi-models support to queryset combinations would require massive changes to the internals of QuerySet and Query objects.
