Aggregate annotation, Case() - When(): AssertionError No exception message supplied

[Lukas Klement]

Aggregating annotations works for simple Sum, Count, etc. operations, but fails when the Sum() contains a Case() When() operation.

Example:
Objective: sum the number of None values for the annotated field field_name across a queryset.

field_name = <name of annotated field>
missing_data_agg=Sum(
    Case(
            When(**{field_name: None}, then=Value(1)),
            default=Value(0),
            output_field=IntegerField()
    )
)

Expected behaviour: calling queryset.aggregate(missing_data=missing_data_agg) returns a dict {'missing_data': <value>}
Actual behaviour: AssertionError No exception message supplied is returned.

When field_name is set to a field that exists on the model of the queryset, the aggregation works. When field_name is set to a field that is neither in the model of the queryset, nor has it been annotated to the queryset, the exception returned is as expected: Cannot resolve keyword <name of the non existing field> into field . Choices are: <list of model and annotated fields. In this list, the field_name that has been annotated to the queryset is shown -> hence it should work, hence I assume this is a Django bug.

The database is a PostgreSQL database, the Django version is 2.1.7, the Python version is 3.6.4. The problem also exists under Django version 2.2b1
