Comment (by Lauxley):

 I was curious so i tracked down the issue,
 the iterator() method of the ValuesQuerySet doesn't use the
 deferred_loading attribute of the query, even though the docstring of
 Query.deferred_to_data says that :
 "This [self.deferred_loading] is used to compute the columns to select
 from the database and also by the QuerySet class to work out which fields
 are being initialised on each model."

 So a quick patch (django 1.4.5)
 {{{#!python
 @@ -956,7 +956,14 @@
      def iterator(self):
          # Purge any extra columns that haven't been explicitly asked for
          extra_names = self.query.extra_select.keys()
 -        field_names = self.field_names
 +        deferred_fields, defer = self.query.deferred_loading
 +        if deferred_fields:
 +            if not defer:
 +                field_names = list(deferred_fields)
 +            else:
 +                field_names = list(set(self.field_names) -
 deferred_fields)
 +        else:
 +            field_names = self.field_names
          aggregate_names = self.query.aggregate_select.keys()

          names = extra_names + field_names + aggregate_names
 }}}

 This is probably not the 'right' way to do it, only an hint.
 I strongly feel that this should not be computed in the iterator method,
 i'm not even sure why the QuerySet class would need to do it itself, but
 i'm probably missing something.

 Note:
 .values('field_a').only('field_b') and .values('field_a').defer('field_a')
 will still raise a DatabaseError, but i think it's fine in this case.
