Description (last modified by Fabio Zoratti)

You can find in attachment a minimal working example. I created the zip with

django-admin startproject mwe
./manage.py startapp testapp

Then I only edited the file testapp/models.py testapp/tests.py and mwe/settings.py (to add the app to the installed apps) and ran ./manage.py makemigrations testapp.

Running the tests with the usual ./manage.py test triggers the problem. I printed the query produced by django, simply adding a print in django/db/backends/sqlite/base.py. The query is the following:

SELECT DISTINCT "testapp_firstmodel"."id", 
COUNT("testapp_secondmodel_related_field2"."secondmodel_id" IN "testapp_secondmodel_related_field1"."secondmodel_id") AS "howmany" 
FROM "testapp_firstmodel" 
LEFT OUTER JOIN "testapp_secondmodel_related_field1" ON ("testapp_firstmodel"."id" = "testapp_secondmodel_related_field1"."firstmodel_id") 
LEFT OUTER JOIN "testapp_secondmodel_related_field2" ON ("testapp_firstmodel"."id" = "testapp_secondmodel_related_field2"."firstmodel_id") 
GROUP BY "testapp_firstmodel"."id" LIMIT 21

Adding a layer of parenthesis in the query inside the Count fixes the issue.

SELECT DISTINCT "testapp_firstmodel"."id", 
COUNT("testapp_secondmodel_related_field2"."secondmodel_id" IN ("testapp_secondmodel_related_field1"."secondmodel_id")) AS "howmany" 
FROM "testapp_firstmodel" 
LEFT OUTER JOIN "testapp_secondmodel_related_field1" ON ("testapp_firstmodel"."id" = "testapp_secondmodel_related_field1"."firstmodel_id") 
LEFT OUTER JOIN "testapp_secondmodel_related_field2" ON ("testapp_firstmodel"."id" = "testapp_secondmodel_related_field2"."firstmodel_id") 
GROUP BY "testapp_firstmodel"."id" LIMIT 21

This should fix the issue: https://github.com/django/django/pull/15798

I used git bisect to find the commit that broke the code. The commit is

commit 3a505c70e7b228bf1212c067a8f38271ca86ce09 (HEAD, refs/bisect/bad)

    Refs #27149, #29542 -- Simplified subquery parentheses wrapping logic.

The diff clearly shows that some parenthesis are being removed from the query
