This test (and other two similar tests) fails:

Bug #7087 -- dates with extra select columns
>>> Item.objects.dates('created', 'day').extra(select={'a': 1})

FAILED (failures=1)

The SQL being generated by Django is correct:

>>> Item.objects.dates('created', 'day').extra(select={'a': 1}).query.as_sql()
('SELECT DISTINCT (1) AS "a", django_date_trunc("day", "sqlite3_dates_item"."created") FROM "sqlite3_dates_item" ORDER BY 1 ASC', ())

The problem has been tracked down to a bug in SQLite in version older than 3.3.6.
