Here's a simplified, complete test case:

CREATE TABLE foo (
    x  integer,
    y  integer
);

INSERT INTO foo (x, y) VALUES (1, 2);

SELECT * FROM (SELECT sum(x), (SELECT y) AS yy FROM foo GROUP BY y) AS s LIMIT 1;
 sum | yy |
-----+----+---
   1 |  2 | 2
(1 row)

SELECT * FROM (SELECT sum(x), (SELECT y) AS yy FROM foo GROUP BY yy) AS s LIMIT 1;
 sum | yy
-----+----
   1 |  2
(1 row)

SELECT * FROM (SELECT sum(x), (SELECT y) AS yy FROM foo GROUP BY y) AS s;
 sum | yy
-----+----
   1 |  2
(1 row)

SELECT * FROM (SELECT sum(x), y AS yy FROM foo GROUP BY y) AS s LIMIT 1;
 sum | yy
-----+----
   1 |  2
(1 row)

SELECT * FROM (SELECT x, (SELECT y) AS yy FROM foo) AS s LIMIT 1;
 x | yy
---+----
 1 |  2
(1 row)
