order_by on annotate doesn't work with camelCased annotation names

Description

this works:

User.objects.annotate(gamecount=Count('game')).order_by('-gamecount')

this doesn't:

User.objects.annotate(gameCount=Count('game')).order_by('-gameCount')

It throws an exception:

ERROR: An unexpected error occurred while tokenizing input
The following traceback may be corrupted or invalid
The error message is: ('EOF in multi-line statement', (267, 0))

Are there maybe quotes missing around the order by clause's gameCount?

Just in case it matters:
Game has a field users = ManyToManyField(User)

There is something beyond what is mentioned here going on. Is it not as simple as camel case in annotation names. Taking contrib models Group and Permission that have the same ManyToMany relationship as your Game and User:

>>> from django.db import connection
>>> from django.db.models import Count
>>> from django.contrib.auth.models import Permission
>>> x = list(Permission.objects.annotate(groupcount=Count('group')).order_by('-groupcount'))
>>> connection.queries[-1]
{'time': '0.003', 'sql': u'SELECT `auth_permission`.`id`, `auth_permission`.`name`, `auth_permission`.`content_type_id`,
 `auth_permission`.`codename`, COUNT(`auth_group_permissions`.`group_id`) AS `groupcount` FROM `auth_permission` LEFT OU
TER JOIN `auth_group_permissions` ON (`auth_permission`.`id` = `auth_group_permissions`.`permission_id`) GROUP BY `auth_
permission`.`id`, `auth_permission`.`id`, `auth_permission`.`name`, `auth_permission`.`content_type_id`, `auth_permissio
n`.`codename` ORDER BY groupcount DESC'}
>>> x = list(Permission.objects.annotate(groupCount=Count('group')).order_by('-groupCount'))
>>> connection.queries[-1]
{'time': '0.001', 'sql': u'SELECT `auth_permission`.`id`, `auth_permission`.`name`, `auth_permission`.`content_type_id`,
 `auth_permission`.`codename`, COUNT(`auth_group_permissions`.`group_id`) AS `groupCount` FROM `auth_permission` LEFT OU
TER JOIN `auth_group_permissions` ON (`auth_permission`.`id` = `auth_group_permissions`.`permission_id`) GROUP BY `auth_
permission`.`id`, `auth_permission`.`id`, `auth_permission`.`name`, `auth_permission`.`content_type_id`, `auth_permissio
n`.`codename` ORDER BY groupCount DESC'}
>>>

Tried on both the reported version (1.2) and trunk. You might find further clues by taking a look at the full SQL query that is being executed for the query. If you can give some more clues as to what else is coming into play here feel free to re-open the ticket, but with the information provided so far I cannot recreate so am closing worksforme for now.
