Weird behavior of .values after a distinct in 5.1.8

[Joseph Yu]

Was upgrading from 4.2.20 to 5.1.8 when tests were failing with a certain query in our app.

Sample code (not actual code and table; only used one table in this case):

>>> a = Tenant.objects.filter(id__in=[1, 3]).values('id').annotate(schema=F('schema_name'), created=F('created_at'))
>>> b = Tenant.objects.filter(id=2).values('id').annotate(schema=F('schema_name'), created=F('created_at'))
>>> c = (a|b).distinct()
>>> d = c.filter(id=OuterRef('id')).values('schema')
>>> e = Tenant.objects.values('schema_name').annotate(created_at=Subquery(d.values('created')))

This throws an error in 5.1.8:

Traceback (most recent call last):
