Hello!
I am getting a very similar error message but sqlalchemy but not in pyodbc. 
My database is SQL EXPRESS 2008.

Did you ever get a solution to your posts on Re: [sqlalchemy] SqlSoup 
ProgrammingError The data types nvarchar and ntext are incompatible in the 
equal operator
I am getting exactly the same error but in sqlalchemy.
I turned logging on and sqlalchemy reflected 5 larger tables with short 
names and then choked at one with two rows but a long name.
Tables with *more than 10 characters *are not reflected by the 
sqlalchemy.Table command when connected to sql server.  
The statement sqlalchemy generates with table names > 10 characters errors 
out but works in a pyodbc query.

I noticed short table names were being reflected so I renamed one table to 
have  fewer than 11 characters and it was reflected. Long named tables work 
in pyodbc

I have shown the working query followed by the failed one. 

PYODBC connection: WORKS

Server};SERVER=MADE_UP_HOST_NAME\SQLEXPRESS;DATABASE=MADE_UP_DB_NAME;UID=sa;PWD=MADE_UP_PASSWORD;')
