Permutated columns when using Paginator with ValuesQuerySet

[micval@…]

I have this model:

class Document(models.Model):
    filename    = models.CharField(max_length=1000)
    filesize    = models.IntegerField()
    keywords    = models.CharField(max_length=1000)
    content     = models.TextField()

When selecting documents I don't want the content field to be selected (for performance issues), so I use values like this:

docs = Document.objects.values('id','filename','filesize','keywords')

But when feeding this list directly to Paginator, the columns get permutated, e.g.: Paginator(docs,3,3,True).page(1).object_list gives:

[{'keywords': 161, 'id': 1, 'filesize': u'sample file'}, 
{'keywords': 162, 'id': 2, 'filesize': u'another sample file'}, 
{'keywords': 163, 'id': 3, 'filesize': u'sample file'}]

If I "evaluate" docs first, the columns get their correct values:

[{'keywords': u'sample file', 'id': 1, 'filesize': 161}, 
{'keywords': u'another sample file', 'id': 2, 'filesize': 162}, 
{'keywords': u'sample file', 'id': 3, 'filesize': 163}]

I use l = len(docs) workaround in my views, which does the trick, but this behaviour puzzles me a little bit.
