Bad error message

From -HEAD:

ERROR: aggregates not allowed in WHERE clause
STATEMENT: SELECT *
FROM loans l
WHERE id IN ( SELECT max(l.id)
FROM loans
JOIN customers c ON c.id =
l.customer_id
JOIN people p ON p.id =
c.person_id
WHERE p.first_name = 'Test person'
GROUP BY l.loan_type_cd
)
;

The real issue is this:

ERROR: missing FROM-clause entry for table "l" at character 132
STATEMENT: SELECT max(l.id)
FROM loans
JOIN customers c ON
c.id = l.customer_id
JOIN people p ON
p.id = c.person_id
WHERE p.first_name =
'Test person'
GROUP BY l.loan_type_cd;

And if I change the FROM loans to be FROM loans l, the original
select does work fine.

Let me know if I need to create a full test case for this...
