It's kind of difficult to simplify the problem in code so I'll try to
explain it more fully. I know that when you join 2 views with common field
names metakit uses the first one, e.g.

    'Trip','Title' joined with 'Trip','Date','Title',.... =>
'Trip','Title','Date',..... (where the result 'Title' is the trip title.)

In my problem, I had something like this (where these are all fields):

    A, nestedview, Ba, Ca, X, Y, D, Ea

    (where X is set to some text and Y is set to 4.)

The nestedview had some field names in common (B,C,E):

    F, Bb, Cb, G, H, I, Eb

What happened when I flattened was:

    A, F, Bb, Cb, G, H, I, Eb, D, X, Y

Most of this was ok except X, which had text in it, was now blank, and Y
which was set to 4, was now 543647059. This decimal number in hex is
0x20676553 which looks a lot like part of an ascii string.
