Rails Ruby on Rails

We have a set of models similar to the following:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :taggings, :include => :tag, :order => 'tags.name'
end

class Tagging < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :user
  belongs_to :tag
end

class Tag < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :taggings
end

When attempting to get the set of tagging_ids:

User.first.tagging_ids

we get a StatementInvalid error

     ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid:
       Mysql2::Error: Unknown column 'tags.name' in 'order clause': SELECT `taggings`.id FROM `taggings` WHERE (`taggings`.user_id = 227792459) ORDER BY tags.name

I think I've tracked this to https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/3-0-stable/activerecord/lib/act... :

          redefine_method("#{reflection.name.to_s.singularize}_ids") do
            if send(reflection.name).loaded? || reflection.options[:finder_sql]
              send(reflection.name).map { |r| r.id }
            else
              if reflection.through_reflection && reflection.source_reflection.belongs_to?
                through = reflection.through_reflection
                primary_key = reflection.source_reflection.primary_key_name
                send(through.name).select("DISTINCT #{through.quoted_table_name}.#{primary_key}").map! { |r| r.send(primary_key) }
              else
                send(reflection.name).select("#{reflection.quoted_table_name}.#{reflection.klass.primary_key}").except(:includes).map! { |r| r.id } # <===================
              end
            end
          end

I've tried both removing the call to except(:includes) from line 1510 as well as expanding the exceptions to include the association order:

  send(reflection.name).select("#{reflection.quoted_table_name}.#{reflection.klass.primary_key}").except(:includes, :order).map! { |r| r.id }

and either approach will result in valid SQL. Obviously, the latter approach generates a more performant query but the ids returned will no longer be in the order specified on the association which seems to be a reasonable tradeoff.
