24570	`group_by` clause does not resolve keywords defined in `extra` clause.	user0007	nobody	"Hello,

during migrating from Django 1.7.5 to 1.8 I found a bug(?)

{{{
    truncate_date = connection.ops.date_trunc_sql('day', 'created_at')

    qs = MyModel.objects.filter(
        user_id=1
    ).annotate(
        max_date=models.Max('created_at')
    ).extra(
        {'created_at': truncate_date}
    ).values(
        'product_id', 'created_at', 'max_date'
    )
    qs.query.group_by = ['product_id', truncate_date]
    qs.order_by('-max_date')[:10]

}}}

The result is:

    FieldError: Cannot resolve keyword u""CAST(DATE_FORMAT(created_at, '%%Y-%%m-%%d 00:00:00') AS DATETIME)"" into field.

This code works perfectly on Django 1.7.5

Traceback:
