I ran into a bit of a nasty error yesterday on Django 1.11, Postgres 9.5
where I was trying to do an update using an `F` expression where the value
in that expression referred to an annotation of an annotation, each using
a `Case` statement inside the annotation. The error message it was giving
me was something like the following:
{{{

}}}
Spent a while trying to debug where it was going wrong, ended up narrowing
down the problem to trying to update a field using an `F` expression on an
annotated field which included a join in it. I'm not sure if better error
message would have helped in my case but in the much simpler test attached
it'd be usfeul if the first and second assertions raised the same or
similar error message.
