Will paginate breaks with :select and sum()

The following query results in a sql error. The problem seems to be a similar one like in #45, but the problem is actually the sum(), not the count().

entries = Entry.paginate(:all, :select => "entry.*, SUM(v.counter) as popularity",
                                :joins => 'as entry inner join views as v on entry.id = v.entry_id',
                                :group => 'entry.id', 
                                :order => 'popularity DESC',  
                                :limit => 50, 
                                :per_page => 8, :page => params[:page])

Mysql::Error:

SELECT count(*entry., SUM(v.counter) as popularity) AS count_entry_all_sum_v_counter_as_popularity, entry.id AS entry_id FROM entries as entry inner join views as v on entry.id = v.entry_id GROUP BY entry.id LIMIT 50
