Bad SQL generated for Book.objects.values('author').annotate(Count('author')).count()

[kmassey]

Observed with SVN revision 9984:

Model:

class Book(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    author = models.CharField(max_length=200)

When using values() with annotate(), the count() method generates bad SQL:

OperationalError: near "FROM": syntax error

The SQL that gets generated is malformed:

SELECT  FROM (SELECT "example_book"."author" AS author, COUNT("example_book"."author") FROM "example_book" GROUP BY "example_book"."author") subquery

Has this been fixed? I can't simulate the problem my end. My qs.count() returns a correct value with no exception.

(In [10053]) Fixed #10425 -- Corrected the interaction of .count() with .annotate() when .values() is also involved. Thanks to kmassey for the report.
