Description
If I combine two queries where the first one has an extra where clause defining a subquery, the subquery is removed from the resulting queryset. The queryset gives wrong results.
See attached test.
The method to combine queries this way is used in ChangeList.get_query_set, see
source:/django/branches/newforms-admin/django/contrib/admin/views/main.py#7544#L306

This looks to me more like a straight QuerySet problem, unrelated to NFA. Am I wrong? Tagging with qsrf-cleanup for now.

The line of code pointed to in the description doesn't use extra() at all. Still, this is a semi-bug: we use only the extra bits from the RHS. I'll merge them together, but people shouldn't expect miracles when it comes to this always working, since Django isn't going to rewrite aliases in extra() for you (that would require writing an SQL parser).

(In [7791]) Fixed #7314 -- Changed the way extra() bits are handled when QuerySets are merged.
Also added a section to the documentation to indicate why it's probably not a
good idea to rely on this feature for complex stuff. Garbage in, garbage out
applies even to Django code.
Thanks to erik for the test case for this one.
Code is same on trunk as nfa, should not block merge.
